The problem here is that for backwards compatibility gmake will read in
a Makefile when there is no GNUmakefile. That made some people get
sloppy and actually write gmake constructs into plain Makefiles.
This is not incorrect.
In general, I think you are trying to reason theoretically
about what font-lock should do in Make mode. But practically speaking
people don't like the results.
