This doesn't work at all in my Emacs (Carbon backend), so I can't help
you here.  But I don't think that this can be modified per-buffer.

You'd need to locally modify the mode line (`mode-line-format') to not include
its keymap properties.  But I'd advise against such invasive action,
unless you have a very good reason for it.
