Sorry for the delay, I have been out for two days.

No. font-lock-mode-hook appears to be working correctly for me in
ansi-color.el, spice-mode.el, and the v5.14 beta cperl-mode.el,

Reading this last statement resulted in a smile and a chuckle,
especially as I mentally substituted the word "feature" for "hook
variable" :-)
I guess I'm lobbying for some minimal documentation on
font-lock-mode-hook, e.g. in the (font-lock.el or font-core.el) and
either the Emacs or Lisp Info pages:
1. global-font-lock-mode has recently been changed to enabled by
default
2. Folks developing new modes usually want to add font-locking. Should
they use font-lock-mode-hook or not? How would they know that
font-lock-mode-hook exists? It's "undiscoverable" in that there is
no mention or example in the Emacs or Elisp info pages, but only in
the actual ansi-color or hi-lock packages themselves.
