Was this patch expected to fix the broken Gnus highlighting me and
others have reported?

After running M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer in the *Group* buffer
(which I think is a recipe that was posted here), the highlighting
goes away. It also goes away in subsequent *Summary* and *Article*
buffers!

By the way, I haven't noticed the broken highlighting in the last
week. Maybe something got fixed. Maybe I've gotten lucky. I don't know.
