Okay, I'm convinced.  I think adding a comment along the lines of
"narrowing is not a minor mode, but its indicator is part of
mode-line-modes", would be helpful in case someone tries to "fix" your

You should use buffer-narrowed-p instead of checking point min & max
here.

Have you assigned copyright for Emacs? (the patch is small enough to
install regardless, I'm asking just to know if it should be marked as a
tiny change).
