The interactive form is wrong. It should be this:
(defun my-function ()
(interactive nil text-mode mail-mode)
(message "Hello"))
IOW, no quoting and no explicit list. The documentation clearly says
(interactive &optional ARG-DESCRIPTOR &rest MODES)
"&rest MODES" means zero or more symbols, not a quoted list.
