Thanks, I thought it was something more complicated.
And lo! If you go to eval-expression, paste this code
into the prompt:
(progn (setq font-lock-mode t) (emacs-lisp-mode))
and eval it right there in context (C-x C-e) then
the pasted code is font locked.
So syntax highlight works, but it breaks something
else, because then you can't get out of the
minibuffer with C-g for some reason. Probably
because of the mode change?
But you can do an M-x top-level to get out and
then the minibuffer works again with C-g, because
it's reset to minibuffer-inactive-mode.
