I've made various attempts at turning off font-lock in compile/grep
hooks without success.  If someone knows a recipe that works, please
inform.

Am I to infer that M-x compile and M-x grep don't work without
fontification/faces (sorry, I don't understand the difference) any more?
If so, this should be mentioned somehow in the Font Lock node -- that
(global-font-lock-mode 0) doesn't turn off everything.  And in fact
there's no way of predicting what it does and doesn't turn off.

(Also, if so, I guess I'll have to write my own versions, since I find
faces badly and uselessly distracting, especially in -nw mode.  Maybe I
am the only person in the world this is true for.  Sigh.)
