Ok, I have virtually no time this week, so I overlooked that last line.  Of
course this has nothing to do with C-x `, but that is one possible way of
noticing that no messages were recognized.

I have whittled down my .emacs to the one statement that solves this:

(add-hook 'comint-mode-hook (lambda ()))

What is going on here is beyond me.  It looks like adding anything to this
hook makes comint do something differently, which in turn decides whether
compile will manage to install its font-lock-keywords.

It's high time to get some sleep, and I'm not sure I'll be able to explore
further before Easter.
