I did get it to work, finally. By running jupyter with --debug I found
where JS was being loaded from, and put my CodeMirror mode
there. Voila! It works! Incidentally on my system, the location is:

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/notebook/static/components/codemirror/mode

Of course it might be different on other systems.

I was trying to install the CodeMirror mode somewhere in ~/.ipython
instead of a system directory, but I couldn't get that to work.
Maybe someone else has more luck with that.

Anyway, now that it's working I'm happy!
