No. vc-set-mode-line-busy-indicator can not apply a 'face property for
all I care. (I knew this worry about "face bloat" would come up. I
don't understand it.)

This would be an incompatible change to the use of the existing
mode-line-highlight face.

I'll say, once again, that the mode-line has a different colour scheme
to the buffer. Trying to re-use buffer faces in the mode-line can look
very poor, as at present with vc-set-mode-line-busy-indicator.
I've said all I have to say on this. I've said why the current choice
is bad, and I've offered two alternatives (using no 'face at all, or a
new one). I'll implement either. But please let's do something,
because the current behaviour is broken.
