He also said that with the new compile.el it:

So maybe it's not the same bug.

Actually the erlang.el I looked at doesn't seem to ever call any of
compile.el's mode-setup functions.  Instead it does things like (setq
major-mode 'compilation-mode) since the old compile.el used `major-mode' to
figure out whether a buffer is a compilation buffer.  So maybe it's no small
wonder that the font-lock-keywords are never setup.

In any case I've just installed a bunch of minor fixes, plus style updates
(and two FIXMEs in compilation-next-error which you might be able to
address, please check them out), plus compatibility improvements.
The tex-mode support should work again (just as badly as in Emacs-21.3,
tho) and even sml-mode's compile.el support is partly functional again.
