 Hi:

 It is nil in that mode

  Information that I found references font-lock-syntactic-keywords
  As I posted originally, the variable was nil in the mode.

  I added the following to the derived-mode form:

  (set (make-local-variable 'font-lock-syntactic-keywords)
    '(("\\^\\(\"\\)" 1 "\"")))

  However, I still have the same problem.
