I did most of the work on noweb mode several years ago.  Are using the
noweb stuff or the straight mmm stuff?

When I designed it, it did work correctly for multiple modes.  The basic
problem with mmm is that you can't really have different sections of the
buffer in truly different modes.  You only really just switch the global
mode whenever you change buffer sections.  If you present a specific
problem, I can try to work through it with you.
