[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm on the latest commit (55772baee1627571c0814cf2d666fb3b963ff591) now.
Unfortunately the bug can still be reproduced on my side.

Even if I follow these steps when testing, with mode-line-format begin nil,
on
the latest commit, it can still be reproduced.

But I think your patch is doing its work. I did some programming work, and I
feel the chance it happens becomes lower.
