That makes sense.

You should be able to force compilation-mode to use jit-lock (which
should fix your problems), tho I'm not sure how.

Maybe

  (require 'compile)
  (add-hook 'compilation-turn-on-font-lock
            (lambda () (kill-local-variable 'font-lock-support-mode)))

100% guaranteed untested,

PS: jit-lock will introduce various problems, such as the fact that
C-x ` may incorrectly tell you there's no more errors.  Or the fact that
directory change messages may not be obeyed.
