Why would the program not figure out that it was in run mode if two contacts were made on the same frequency back to back?

Forgetting to set run mode is a pretty common issue.

I updated N1MM+ today, and indeed it includes the revision to spotting.
The notes explain it thusly:

"For each Entry Window, do not auto spot QSOs if successive QSOs are on the
same frequency. This is for those who forget to set run mode when running.

The key word here is "RUNNING."  Nothing worse than seeing someone with

(Pro tip:  You should be in Run mode then.)  Dozens of mults that aren't
really there piled up in the band map on top of each other, so then I

to block the spotter to keep the bandmap and the mult window clear.

THANK YOU Steve !!!!

There were a whole bunch of stations who polluted the band map last
weekend by spotting while running.  Even after being told repeatedly what
was happening, they did nothing about it, and may not even have known how
to change their own configuration.   I can see how new or inexperienced ops
at a Multi could have unknowingly done this.

Anyway it was a huge waste of time for any Assisted op trying to keep an
accurate band map.
