I'd probably write a wrapper around `slime-search-suppressed-forms' which
first calls `slime-extend-region-for-font-lock', and then moves point to
the beginning of that region, and calls `slime-search-suppressed-forms'
with the end as the limit.

I'd hope that won't cause any problems, just be less efficient (it may
do work twice, or thrice); so better take a glance at the font-lock
sources first.
