I "know that `yes-or-no-p' does that, and that that is necessary" but I
do not know whether "it is `yes-or-no-p' that does that".  Only you
could find out by going through this with the debugger.

No.  I forgot that when displaying the modeline, its window is selected
and its buffer made current.  But the following unnecessarily complex
part of my setup displays the window number in the modeline.

(defun prettify (size-string pretty-string)
  "Prettify number by inserting dots."
  (if (> (length size-string) 3)
      (prettify (substring size-string 0 -3)
                (concat "." (substring size-string -3) pretty-string))
    (concat size-string pretty-string)))

       :weight bold))
  "Basic mode line face for selected window."
