Do you have a positive suggestion? It would be nice to update the info at runtime, but IMO it is beyond what is reasonable to ask. This feature works on the pretense that if a command has a real potential for being used outside of its mode, it shall not be annotated as mode-specific. The scenario you described indicates that the application realm of the command is open-ended. In the future the system can be expanded so a mode can declare that it uses specific commands (or all of them) from some other mode, but that is not required now for the filtering to be effective.
