   Ok, now I understand what you meant by that particular point.
   Could you give a self-contained and clear explanation of
   why this is a problem?

Because it initializes Font Lock for the wrong major mode.  Currently,
any attempts to correct this undo prior calls to
font-lock-{add,remove}-keywords that passed nil for MODE.  Some of
these calls we actually might _want_ to undo, but others not, according
to some as yet undocumented rules.

Basically, it appears to me that the way Font Lock handles calls to
font-lock-{add,remove}-keywords that pass nil for MODE is flawed.
