I have being meaning to post about this.

See for example

  From:   h1t
  Subject:    Bug in ibuffer-mark-by-mode-regexp function
  Date:       Wed, 14 Nov 2007 10:27:04 +0200

A quick grep for mode-name in lisp/ appears to show several places
that assume it is a string. It's documented as being a string, so I
would think at the very least should be a NEWS entry saying it might
not be any more.
