I tried some of the methods described by the OP, and they work *after*
the file is visited, but starting with emacs -Q and evaluating this on
*scratch*:

(defun foo ()
  (message "hook")
  (global-font-lock-mode nil))

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'foo)


then visiting a C++ file, the text is colorized. At that point,

M-x global-font-lock-mode

and the colors go away, but

M-x revert-buffer

colorizes the text again.

Yes, it is a glaring bug.
