Subject: bug#11929: 24.1.50; Globalized minor mode turn-on function is called twice for each opened file

I raised the topic on help-gnu-emacs previously, but hadn't received an
answer: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2012-07/msg00174.html

How to reproduce.

1. Define the minor mode:

(define-minor-mode foo-mode "" :lighter "")

(defun turn-on-foo-mode ()
   (message "buffer %s major mode %s" (buffer-name) major-mode)
   (foo-mode 1))

(define-globalized-minor-mode global-foo-mode foo-mode turn-on-foo-mode)

2. Turn on the global mode.

3. Open any file, look at the *Messages* buffer.
It will contain something like this:

buffer init.el major mode fundamental-mode
buffer init.el major mode emacs-lisp-mode

If the buffer is going to be immediately switched to another mode,
there's no point in calling the turn-on function in the default mode.
I think this behavior is buggy.
