Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
When displaying information about minor-modes, the command
describe-mode prints the mode-line indicator for each minor-mode if
there is one, like so:
"Eldoc minor mode (indicator ElDoc):"
If an indicator is the empty string, then describe-mode
prints:
"Eldoc minor mode (indicator):"
Perhaps
"Eldoc minor mode (no indicator):"
would be better?
Here is a simple-minded patch to describe-mode:

(boundp indicator)
(not (eq indicator (symbol-value indicator))))
(setq indicator (symbol-value indicator)))
+ (if (string-equal indicator "")
+ (setq indicator nil))
(princ "\n\f\n")
(princ (format "%s minor mode (%s):\n"
