The code looks good. But the code doesn't restrict syntax names to only alpha 
characters (and shouldn't), so why does nanorc only highlight alpha characters?

I was using this before to highlight the quoted syntax names:
color cyan "^[[:space:]]*syntax[[:space:]]+\"[^    ]+\""

And now use this (with your patch):
color cyan "^[[:space:]]*syntax[[:space:]]+(\"[^    ]+\"|[^     ]+)"
