It's been quite some time. I've been using Org for years and I don't
keep it up to date. I can't identify when it changed, only that my
muscle memory started throwing errors. ;]

To be fair, I think I only moved to v9 this year. So I may have
learned this in versions before v8.

That's the kind of configuration I was referring to. It'd be fine to
me to add items to match the tags I use.

On the other hand, perhaps it would be useful to have a fallback
behavior to use the current org-mode settings in a popup buffer for a
block that has no mode associated with it?
