BTW, the related change to the vertical bar for window systems
is not documented.  The proposed documentation updates are below.

Also I see in the node (info "(emacs)Split Window") the text:

  On terminals where Emacs does not support highlighting,
  truncated mode lines sometimes do not appear in inverse video.

Does it say there is a bug in Emacs?
