I probably can, but my current (imperfect) understanding of the issue
is that it is buried deeply in the controlling of the Emacs syntax
highlighting routines and how they work.  It would probably involve
some serious greasemonkey work on mmm-mode's guts (I don't think
mmm-mode is being actively developed any more), and if I'm going to do
that I would rather turn the whole thing into a literate program and
actually understand what it is doing.  (I'd probably have to do that
much work anyway to figure out how to handle this.)

Well, I can't either ;-).  No point in letting that stop me though -
given enough head banging you can punch a hole in a brick wall :-).
