The test.py file is indeed an unnecessary complicated example.

Here is a simpler file reproducing the issue:

def test():
        """"""
        return None
        
The issue is the following:
All the lines after the empty triple-quoted string are colored with
the 'font-lock-string-face' face.

This seems to be a legit python code:
http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals
        
There is the same issue with triple-quoted strings using simple quotes '.
