From my tests, it actually seems Bane Mods do add to the base damage. I used an unmodded Kunai for my tests, which does 45 damage to Corpus.

When I added a +15% Expel Corpus mod, it did 51 damage. Calculated damage is 51.75, so it appears the game rounds down for base damage. Also note, there was no extra damage popup like an elemental mod usually shows.

Then I added a +95% Heated Charge, with and without the Expel Corpus mod:

With the Expel Corpus mod, it did 47 damage which follows the calculations (51.75 * .9). It appears 'elemental' damage is rounded up. Without the Expel Corpus mod, it only did 41 damage (45 * .9). This definitely suggets Bane mods add to the base damage and are not considered 'elemental' mods.
