Now we know that there is some inconsistency, thanks for confirming
it.

For this function:

(defun my-function ()
  (interactive nil '(text-mode mail-mode))
  (message "Hello"))

major-mode ➜ mail-mode

My default was:
(setq read-extended-command-predicate nil)

- I can see 90 possible completions with M-X in mail-mode, WITHOUT `my-function'

- I can see 9819 possible completions with M-x in mail-mode, WITH `my-function'

when I turn it on:

(setq read-extended-command-predicate 'command-completion-default-include-p)

- I can see 90 possible completions with M-X in mail-mode, WITHOUT `my-function'

- I can see 8777 possible completions with M-x in mail-mode, WITHOUT `my-function'

Which means that my function cannot be found with recommended
settings in mail-mode, so there must be more inconsistencies.

I have filed the above as bug, it is best to continue discussion as
bug.

But in the bug there shall be wording "I can see 8777" just as in
here, there was mistake.
