It appears to work as you expect when 'cmdheight' is 2 or more. Most likely the message is cleared when the "-- VISUAL --" mode message is removed. Setting 'noshowmode' helps. This should not happen though, when the message overwrites the mode then there is no need later to clear the mode message. -- If Microsoft would build a car... ...
