Make sure you have a variable `font-lock-other-comment-face' whose value is
a symbol (a face).  Or otherwise try

(setq font-lock-syntactic-face-function
      (lambda (state)
        (if (nth 3 state) font-lock-string-face
          (if (nth 7 state) 'font-lock-other-comment-face
            font-lock-comment-face))))
