> I would expect the header-line-format and mode-line-format to behave the same way when using the mode-line-format-right-align construct.  But instead, the behaviour is a little strange and appears to rely on the value of mode-line-format:

Yes, that's how this feature was implemented (and documented).

Given the trouble this feature has already caused, I'm not really

in leaving things as they are.  But if someone wants to work on this
enhancement, and submits clean code to support it, we will definitely
review and consider the changes for inclusion.
