For the moment, I just replaced the incorrect keyword :initial-value in the example with :init-value. However, probably somewhat more extensive changes are needed. The example (now) does: :init-value nil But this is redundant, as the default :init-value is nil anyway. So it probably just should be deleted. There is more. You can not specify a non-nil :init-value, unless either the minor mode is enabled by just setting the variable or unless you do something extra. That something extra is to preload the file containing the define-minor-mode before startup.el and then using `custom-reevaluate-setting in startup.el (for files included with the Emacs distribution) or to call the minor mode function near the end of the file (for files not included with the Emacs distribution). We could either document these requirements in the Elisp manual and the define-minor-mode docstring or change define-minor-mode so that these requirements are no longer necessary. The latter requires changes which Stefan probably would not like. For instance it would mean that the call to `define-minor-mode' would need to be delayed until after all functions used by the minor mode function have been defined (but only for define-minor-mode's with a non-nil :init-value).
