bug in buffer-syntactic-context? [was: string fontification bug in ksh-mode]

I've noticed that if you have unmatched string quotes (',",`) in
comments in ksh-mode, that XEmacs gets confused about what's inside
and outside quotes in the code, but only sometimes. Ideas anyone?
M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer fixes things.
I've been playing more with this:
xemacs -vanilla and load this file:
<---- snip
# -*- ksh -*-
# Don't
compctl -j -P % -x 's[-] p[1]' -k signals -- kill
compctl -e disable
compctl -d enable
<---- snip
Now, bind (lambda () (interactive) (message "%s" (buffer-syntactic-context)))
onto some key and start moving around and running it. For example,
run it at the beginning of the 1st compctl line, then the 3rd, then
the line following the 3rd, then the 2nd => "string". Now move back
to the 1st => "nil". Now the 2nd again => "nil". As you move
around
you get different answers for the same places.
Can someone who understands the syntactic context cache please look
into this? Thanks!
