Does the patch below fix the problem?

I cannot reproduce your recipe on the systems to which I have access,
so I used a slightly modified procedure and the dump-glyph-matrix
function to show what I think is the same issue: namely, in a frame
with 3 vertically-arranged windows, the window "after the selected
one" (in the next-window sense) has its mode-line row disabled in the
current glyph matrix.  That problem is solved by the patch below, but
I'm not sure it solves yours.

Thanks.
