Should this mode work in log-edit-mode buffers?

Hi,
Emacs 24.3.1
fill-column-indicator-20140425.1205/
After adding a hook for log-edit-mode, I was hoping to see the line on the right, but it was missing. The other modes that use fci work fine, however.
Calling turn-on-fci-mode or fci-mode alone do not make it happen.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
What should I check or dig into on this one to figure it out?
I can't reproduce the problem. What I did was invoke log-edit-mode in a random buffer, then fci-mode; then fci activated with no problem.
(1) Is any error signaled when you try to activate fci-mode? Check the *Messages* buffer.
(2) If you don't see anything in *Messages*, we should probably start looking for interaction between something in your setup and fci-mode. Can you reproduce the problem starting from emacs -Q?
(2a) If you can reproduce with emacs -Q, please include a recipe with your exact steps, and also your emacs version and build information. (If you do M-x report-emacs-bug, the message buffer will be autopopulated with that information; you can just cut and paste it here.)
(2b) If you can't reproduce with emacs -Q, then it's an interaction between your local installation and fci-mode. In this case, please bisect your .emacs so we can narrow that down.
Note that my attempt to repro was unrealistic in one respect: I invoked log-edit-mode manually, rather than working with a CVS repository and having the vc machinery invoke log-edit-mode automatically. It's possibly that that makes a difference, but it's low probability, and I'd rather explore the above avenues first. If they don't pan out then I'll set up a CVS repo and do some further testing.
Understood thanks for that I will pursue that path.
I switched to to this and now it works fine:
