If you enable debugger on error, put a file under version control in a sole
buffer, do C-x C-b, click mouse-1 in the Buffer List buffer to select it, then
click mouse-1 the on the versrion control string in the mode-line and select
"Show Other Version" you get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Buffer *Buffer List* is not associated
with a file")
signal(error ("Buffer *Buffer List* is not associated with a file"))
error("Buffer %s is not associated with a file" "*Buffer List*")
So it doesn't work, whereas doing something similar on mode-name does work.
Therefore a change is needed, although it might be different to the one I
suggested.
