It should go away on user request.
FYI -
My Emacs-20 code highlighted grep regexps:
- everywhere, in the compilation buffer
- one by one, in source-code buffers, when next-error was called.
Highlighting the source code this way helps a user keep track of where he's
been.
The highlighting was persistent.
The compilation-buffer highlighting was done with font-lock. I did not
provide a way for a user to remove just this regexp highlighting, but that
might be useful as a toggle. I know I sometimes toggle search-page
highlighting on/off when using the Google toolbar.
The source-code regexp highlighting was not done with font-lock. A user
could remove it (without affecting font-lock highlighting) in any of several
ways:
- font-lock-mode twice (easy, if it's bound to a key)
- revert the buffer
- use my command `highlight' (with negative prefix arg) on a region
- ...

P.S. Similarly, to help users keep track of lines they've visited, I also
highlighted visited line numbers in buffer *Occur*.
