The new font-lock-regexp-backslash,
font-lock-regexp-backslash-construct stuff seems a bit fragile.

Eg with the following in a file "foo.el":

"\\(foo\\|bar\\)"
;; "\\(foo\\|bar\\)"
"\\(foo\\|bar\\)"

then after doing

emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(global-font-lock-mode 1)' foo.el

line three does not get highlighted. It does if one makes any kind of
change to line three.
