Why didn't you just check yesterdays articles in auxtex-devel? (c;
Especially

might be interesting.

Also, Robert wrote in private mail that due to the size of his file it
would take some time to come up with a minimal example.  This is what
I wrote in reply in order to generate some more information for
preparing an example:

| (elp-instrument-package "font-lock-")
|
| into the buffer and type `M-x eval-buffer RET'.  You can then start
