maybe a "prepend" helps here?

C-h f font-lock-add-keywords says:

...


For example:

 (font-lock-add-keywords 'c-mode
  '(("\\<\\(FIXME\\):" 1 font-lock-warning-face prepend)
    ("\\<\\(and\\|or\\|not\\)\\>" . font-lock-keyword-face)))

adds two fontification patterns for C mode, to fontify `FIXME:' words, 
even in
comments, and to fontify `and', `or' and `not' words as keywords.
