The problem was not with the variable, it was with defining functions
conditionally.  I didn't think about the `auto-mode-alist` part, mostly
because it doesn't appear syntactically in the code (it's "hidden" in
one of the args to `define-generic-mode`).
The variable was just the poor messenger ;-)
