Not sure why that is.  Seems like an accident.

Sounds like a bug.  Note that in

    (condition-case nil
        (foo)
      (error (when a (when b c))))

the second `when` gets the keyword face, as it should.
BTW I suspect that part of the reason for this bug is because of the
need to avoid using the keyword face on the `when` of:

    (condition-case nil
        (foo)
      ((when error) ...))

Adding corresponding tests for these things would be great.
