Do we really want to pollute the code with unexplained workarounds for purely 
cosmetic bugs in a text editor many of us don't use?

Did you at least poke the emacs guys and ask them to fix their obvious bug?  
(Parsing complexity aside, I don't believe quotes span multiple lines in make, 
so the highlighting should have stopped at the end of line anyway.)
