Didier,

Thanks for investigating.  I spent a little time looking into this
last night, but couldn't sort it out.

The results of evaluating the expressions are the same for both the
2008-02-15 and 2008-02-28 versions:

(face-background 'modeline[-mousable]) yields an error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-argument "Invalid specifier
locale or locale type" [-mousable])
  specifier-specs(#<color-specifier global=<unspecified>
fallback=#<color-specifier global=(... . "#D5CCBB") fallback=(... ...
...) 0x2152> 0x21b3> [-mousable] nil nil)
  face-property(modeline background [-mousable] nil nil)
  face-background(modeline [-mousable])
  eval((face-background (quote modeline) [-mousable]))
  eval-interactive((face-background (quote modeline) [-mousable]))
  eval-last-sexp(t)
  #<compiled-function nil "...(13)" [standard-output terpri
eval-last-sexp t] 2 1268112 nil>()
  call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp)
  (dispatch-event "[internal]")

(face-property-instance 'modeline[-mousable] nil nil t) => nil
