I worked around it by using (font-lock-mode t) instead.  I've
investigated a bit more now, however, and it seems that only when
font-lock-support-mode is either jit-lock-mode or lazy-lock-mode that
it happens, so I decided to work around it by setting it to nil.
(jit-lock-mode also has problems with #||# comments.)
