I noticed two things that show that partial highlight-regexp state
lingers after calling revert-buffer, see items 9 and 12.  After buffer
reversion, I would expect this state either to be completely backed
out or to survive completely intact.  Ideally both of these behaviors
would be supported and under users' control.

 (1) emacs -Q foo.txt
 (2) insert `foo bar' into buffer and save
 (3) M-s h r foo RET RET
 (4) note that foo is highlighted with hi-yellow face
 (5) make a trivial edit to make buffer-modified-p be true
 (6) M-x revert-buffer and confirm
 (7) note that highlighting goes away as expected
 (8) M-s h r bar RET but do not respond to the prompt for the face
 (9) Expected default face: hi-yellow.  Actual: hi-pink.
(10) C-g to cancel the highlight-regexp command
(11) M-s h u but do not respond to the prompt for a regexp
(12) Expected: "No highlighting to remove".  Actual: prompts for
regexp with a default of foo.
(13) Hit RET to accept the default regexp foo to unhighlight
(14) M-s h u
(15) note that "No highlighting to remove" appears, as should have
happened after (11)

(This is not a comment on the patch you have put in, but my initial
thoughts as I investigated the bug.)

I have a feeling that your fix is "inconsistent" with having
`hi-lock-interactive-patterns' as `permanent-local'.

`hi-lock-interactive-patterns' is marked as `permanent-local'.  So the
original intention is clearly to *retain* the highlighting across the
reverts and change of major modes.  With `global-hi-lock-mode' ON, you
will notice that highlighting will be retained across reverts.

When M-s h r is used, hi-lock-mode is turned on automatically.  But
after revert, the hi-lock-mode (being a minor mode) never gets turned
back again.

I was thinking of fix along the lines of 

1. If `hi-lock-interactive-patterns' is non-nil, turn on hi-lock-mode.

2. I think `font-lock-fontify-buffer' should be added to
   `hi-lock-font-lock-hook'.  For some reason, `hi-lock-font-lock-hook'
   doesn't get called at all (even though it is added to the
   `font-lock-mode-hook'.)  

   Problem area: `font-lock-mode-hook' is not documented and I really
   don't when it is getting called.

Agreed.  Even more so for hi-lock-file-patterns.

Not any more after my patch.

Why?

What was your test case?

font-lock-mode is a normal minor-mode, so font-lock-mode-hook is called
at the end of running font-lock-mode (both to enable and to disable it).

Whether this change in behaviour counts as a regression, I am not sure.

`hi-lock-font-lock-hook' adds the font lock keywords.
`font-lock-fontify-buffer' activates the keywords.

For the sake of discussion, I undid your patch.  

Apply this patch and re-load hi-lock.el.

1. M-s h r something
2. Modify buffer.
3. Revert buffer.
4. M-: hi-lock-interactive-patterns
   Verify that variable is non-nil.

5. M-x hi-lock-mode.  (For now do it by hand.)
6. See that highlighting kicks in.

My expectation was that once `hi-lock-mode' is turned on
`font-lock-mode-hook' will be *automatically* called.  

Is it the minor mode's responsibility to explicitly call it's
fontification handler?
