I missed that due to diminish, which changes it to "el" for me in both
cases.  But you are correct now that I'm trying emacs -Q.

This was added in:

commit 620f672518b1c009a028ebdb0fd1d4a0aabfa1d0

    * lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el (elisp-enable-lexical-binding): New command

    (emacs-lisp-mode): Indicate lex/dyn binding mode in the mode line.
    (elisp--dynlex-modeline-map): New var.

We could of course still change it to "Elisp" for the "Elisp/l" case.
Or we could just close this bug.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
