Thanks for the response. I'm not sure it has anything to do with
nXhtml (tried using nXhtml just now, without any problems). It seems
to affect other modes. For example, if I run "M-x about-emacs" then
the "*About GNU Emacs*" buffer is affected by this. In this case, the
text turns red from "E564" (in "LENNART-69DE564") onwards.

It also affects more unusual, non-standard modes such as twitter.el
and tagged.el, which is what made me wonder if this is due to some
feature to highlight coding that is incompatible with Emacs 23 or
something.
