I think this is the way it's supposed to work -- that font-lock-mode
variable is just there to keep track of whether we've set up the current
mode for font locking (even if there is no font locking taking place, as
in text mode buffer).

So I don't think there is a bug here, and I'm closing this bug report.
If I've misunderstood, please reopen.
