I don't see why that kind of buffer is more strange that against
any other type of buffer.
What I don't understad (but maybe you can enlighten me) is why running
ielm _on_ test.el is necessary when _developing_ test.el ? What are
the advantages of doing that?
I always thought the reason for running ielm on a specific buffer was
to easily examine or experiment with the buffer-local settings of that
buffer.
And I don't see what buffer-local settings of test.el are interesting
when developing test.el (unless you are looking into a problem with
Emacs-Lisp mode).

buffer is just a common as on test.el.

I do think this is would be useful, it's just not the right place to put it.
What about changing the buffer name rather than the mode-line-process, ie.
*IELM on test.el*
or
*IELM on *wide reply to Juanma Barranquero**
At least, that would display the information in the part of the mode line
where (potentially long) names are already shown.
