   I don't understand.  How can the current major mode "be" an ancestor
   mode?  Do you mean that the font-lock settings came from an ancestor
   mode?

With "current" major mode, I mean the value of `major-mode' when
font-lock-add-keywords is called.  That could be the parent mode or
even an earlier ancestor mode of the final major mode.
