Drew,

I cannot reproduce this with the 24.0.91 Windows Pretest binary or my
current trunk build.

I downloaded dired+.el and put it in the Emacs path. With emacs -Q, I do
M-x load-library and load dired+.el. The dired buffer shows your custom
font-locking.

I then tried (require 'dired+) in my init.el and it also showed the
font-locking correctly when invoking dired.

Could anything have changed in your setup?
