I cannot reproduce this.
What was the major mode in the buffer where you tried this? I'm
asking because font-lock-mode is turned on by default, so I don't
understand why you needed to turn it on. E.g., try repeating the
sequence, without the font-lock-mode command, in *scratch* as soon as
you enter "emacs -Q".
