(This is not a comment on the patch you have put in, but my initial
thoughts as I investigated the bug.)
I have a feeling that your fix is "inconsistent" with having
`hi-lock-interactive-patterns' as `permanent-local'.
`hi-lock-interactive-patterns' is marked as `permanent-local'. So the
original intention is clearly to *retain* the highlighting across the
reverts and change of major modes. With `global-hi-lock-mode' ON, you
will notice that highlighting will be retained across reverts.
When M-s h r is used, hi-lock-mode is turned on automatically. But
after revert, the hi-lock-mode (being a minor mode) never gets turned
back again.
I was thinking of fix along the lines of
1. If `hi-lock-interactive-patterns' is non-nil, turn on hi-lock-mode.
2. I think `font-lock-fontify-buffer' should be added to
`hi-lock-font-lock-hook'. For some reason, `hi-lock-font-lock-hook'
doesn't get called at all (even though it is added to the
`font-lock-mode-hook'.)
Problem area: `font-lock-mode-hook' is not documented and I really
don't when it is getting called.
