FWIW, I use this:
(defun srb-display-mode-line-string (&optional arg)
"Display the unpropertized mode-line string in the echo area.
With prefix argument ARG, insert it at point in the current buffer."
(interactive "P")
(let ((mode-line-string
(eval-expression '(format-mode-line mode-line-format 0))))
(and arg (insert mode-line-string))))
(global-set-key "\C-cf" 'srb-display-mode-line-string)
