A workaround that I sometimes use is
\newcommand{\ignore}[1]{}
...in your \verb!$PATH!\ignore$ blah blah
But since that just makes the problem a little less annoying, I also
started working some time ago on a better fontifier for LaTeX files. A
really ambitious one, in fact---I am currently pondering whether it
might be possible to handle even things like
\newcommand{\beq}{\begin{equation}}
\newcommand{\eeq}{\end{equation}}
...
\beq
some math here
\eeq
But since this doesn't fall within the scope of what the standard
font-lock machinery can handle, there's a lot of work involved and
(alas) I don't expect to have a releasable version any time soon.
