No, the :require is of course correct. The problem is that when you set the
variable, the current :require gets copied into your .emacs file, and when
you later run an Emacs where that minor mode was moved to another file, your
.emacs still points to the old location and the startup fails to set the var
(and complains that the file doesn't define function bar-mode).
