I don't have any insight into this, but I noticed that the highlighting
(and the change in your mouse cursor) seems to mirror what happens when
you move your mouse over the strings. Since you didn't mention the thing
with the strings, is it safe to assume that's expected?

If so, what major/minor mode provides that functionality? From a
position of ignorance, my first thought is that it seems related.
