I've got the same problem with auto-fill sometimes. I switch that
mode on with text-mode-hook. When I visit a text file that has "mode:
auto-fill", it is effectively turned off. Maybe we should do
(some-minor-mode 1) for "mode: some-minor-mode" constructs.
That would be hard, since the code doesn't know whether the mode
is a minor or major mode. But worse than that, it is misguided.
It would be a mistake to try to make this "work", since it is
misguided ayway. Minor modes such as auto-fill mode are personal
choices; files should not specify them at all.
It might be useful to find a way to arrange a warning when files use
Mode: or -*-...-*- to specify minor modes.
