Thanks. It is lucky that we have texmathp.el, a smart utility created by
Carsten Dominik. It gives us a way practical enough to identify whether
a given position of latex document buffer is in math mode or not.

Maybe. I suppose that it should be documented, for the time being, that
SYNTAX-ALIST entry of `font-lock-defaults' may not introduce dratistic
change in syntax table such as changing assignments of "string quotes"
syntax.
