I didn't try it out thoroughly, sorry. I saw that it appeared in minibuffer as 
usual and decided to not look into it further.

I think of modeline as something buffer-specific, so I don't want to put global 
messages there.

Regarding your code - I might be wrong, but won't message get stuck in the 
modeline if I reorder my windows before the timer runs out?
