No, my intention is to only run the hooks in the base buffer.  It would
then be the responsability of some other package (e.g. polymode) to add
a function to the base-buffer hook to also run the hook in those
indirect buffers that need it.

Enable font-lock in the base buffer (and only there) using polymode's
font-lock rules (which will dispatch to the appropriate indirect buffer).

Yes: "has to" is a requirement that was never fulfilled.

Right, that's arguably a bug as well.  Not sure how important it is to
fix it.
