Alas, it doesn't.  Angelo is right, the recipe doesn't work, neither 
before nor after your fix.  An init file with just (set-face-attribute 
'mode-line nil :inherit nil) has no effect on the mode-line of the first 
frame.  (require 'faces) or (with-eval-after-load "faces" ...) do not 
help.  The shortest actually working recipe I found is:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :foreground (face-attribute 'default 
:foreground))
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :inherit nil)
