MOD, I believe, does start by filling the last track; but it would be sheer luck if the erstwhile last block were a standard block. Consequently, the odds are stacked against the dataset remaining properly standard.
In any event, DISP=MOD with RECFM=FBS leaves the dataset labelled as RECFM=FB to obviate behavior unexpected by subsequent users.
