Looks right to me.  AFAICT, the third defun is actually in a comment.
Emacs 22 also seems to understand nested comments like:
 
 "a" #| "b" |# "c" #| "d" #| "e" |# "f" |# "g"

a, c, and g are correctly highlighted as strings and the others as
comments.

The opening paren of the third defun is highlighted. As explained in
the manual, that can be avoided by writing \(. See:
