I don't think a general solution is really possible here.  We don't want
any get-buffer-create to run the globalised modes -- that would be slow
and awkward.  We only want those to run in buffers that users actually
end up using, and I think that's something the modes themselves must
somehow decide.

So I don't think there's any realistic progress to be made in this bug
report, and I'm closing it.
