I think it's basically that the coloring function for Emacs's syntax
highlighting doesn't skip chunks in mmm-mode when deciding how to
highlight things.  That's what would need to be fixed, and it may be
rather non-trivial (but worthwhile) to fix it.  I have a feeling it may
wind up being the case that mmm-mode serves as a guide for a new
literate programming mode, rather than being a fix to mmm-mode - we
will see.  My major concern is that that behavior of Emacs's syntax
highlighting is not user configurable at all, but I don't know enough
to say.

I've seen it before on the $ symbol, in Emacs.  I'll have a look and
see what can be done, but it may be a slow process.
