Note that this statement is meaningless under XEmacs (it is a FSF
thing in font-lock v2). Under XEmacs these things (still) get handled
using font-lock-mode hook and friends.

 This is still true.  Actually it happens when `insert-file-contents'
 calls `insert-file-contents-internal'. 
I am assuming this is the problem as the this should call the
after-change-functions which should fontify the buffer.

I haven't read the i-f-c broken thread completely yet. That could very 
well be the problem.
