I don't remember such font-lock text property, but now I have no problems
when long lines are hidden initially with:

```
(add-hook 'xref-after-update-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq-local outline-regexp (if (eq xref-file-name-display 'abs)
                                           "/" "[^ 0-9]")
                        outline-default-state 1
                        outline-default-rules '(subtree-has-long-lines)
                        outline-default-long-line 1000)
            (outline-minor-mode +1)))
```
