I thought the issue was with `format-mode-line', but that function does
return text properties as ordered (I think).  Instead the issue is that
display_string doesn't do anything with the text properties?

If this can't be fixed somewhat easily, I guess I'll revert the
mode-line-compact change, because it's pretty useless without text
properties, but I don't have the time right now to investigate, so I'm
reporting this as a bug to remind myself (or anybody else who feels like
having a look).

OK, that was trivial to fix, so now the snippet that shortens the mode
line text just has to be amended to do the work on the Lisp_Object
string instead (so that text properties are preserved).

And the rest didn't seem that complicated, either, so this should
actually work now...
