Well, it's up to you guys, but why don't you just switch on the
bugtracker feature provided by savannah?

OK, meanwhile, I've seen some code (in auctex) that tries to recognize
whether point is inside a verbatim environment. And that looks wrong to
me as you can see from my last message and the second picture here.

But maybe, that wrong display is connected to way font-lock.el works. I
haven't yet studied that in detail.
