You could delete the majormode, e.g.,

remove-majormode ini

Recreating it (with the same name) seems to not work properly, though 
show-majormodes shows the expected result (which, given that .vilerc seems 
to be processed before the suffix-matching takes place), looks like a bug. 
I'll add a to-do to see why.
