Actually: let me ask a much simpler question:
Do the ex/vi/vim modelines as typically used in Wireshark even work ?

Good question, for me they don't work.
I saw commit and was testing it with :set ts=8,

Anyway if wireshark modelines don't affect my editor settings I'm ok with it :)
Sorry for fuss.

What do the following say?

    verbose set modeline?
    verbose set modelines?

It's possible that modelines are either disabled by default or don't
reach the modeline statement.



I checked that:
On the Ubuntu system, I had to add a 'set modeline' to .vimrc but even then the vim modeline in a test file worked only after changing the line as described previously. 



Gerald:
PS: if it turns out that the modeline generator needs a tweak fot vim modelines I suggest adding the vim option smarttab so that using the tab key will indent by shiftwidth.
(I'm not a vim user but this sounds like the right option based upon the documentation).
