For me the final "t))" is given font-lock-warning-face.
It also has this text property:

   help-echo            "Hidden behind deeper element; move to another line?"

... which is very useful information!

However, the only way I can see this (other than describe-char) is to
hover over the highlighted text with the mouse.

Apparently we're supposed to customize help-at-pt-display-when-idle. But some modes use the newly added cursor-sensor-functions, forgoing the idle timer.
