font-lock-mode-hook doesn't seem to exist, perhaps because it's only a minor
mode.

The only problem that I've encountered with eval-after-load was one
Klaus Zeitler reported using (eval-after-load "gdb-ui" FORM)
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-05/msg00389.html)

It might have been one of timing - unlike a mode-hook you have no control over
when the forms are evaluated - but it gave problems even when the FORM did
nothing significant.  That said, I don't think there was a problem before
Alan's recent changes to eval-after-load ;-)
