Ok, tried to follow what happens.  Hitting the first key after entering
wdired calls `font-lock-set-defaults' like this:

| (font-lock-set-defaults)
| (font-lock-fontify-region 132 243)
| (jit-lock--run-functions 132 243)
| (jit-lock-fontify-now 132 1632)
| (jit-lock-function 132)

and `font-lock-set-defaults' finds that

  (derived-mode-p font-lock-major-mode)

fails so that it recomputes the `font-lock-keywords' from the defaults.
I guess we could prevent that happening?
