Starting from emacs -Q, put the following into a buffer with
emacs-lisp-mode
(setq foo "\\<foo\\>")
The part "foo\\" of the string "\\<foo\\>" will get
font-lock-variable-name-face, which looks odd.
I believe, this is due to a clause in lisp-mode.el that says
;; Words inside \\[], \\<>, \\{} or \\`' tend to be for
;; `substitute-command-keys'.
But this assumption is not always correct, in particular if ">" is
preceded by "\\", which happens when constructing regexps.

This is an exact duplicate of bug#74307 that you submitted just 2
minutes earlier, so I'm merging them.

I think bug#68318 is also about the same issue; it can be merged into
this one as well.
Best, Arash

Thanks. Since this bug was already closed, I'm therefore closing
bug#68318 as well.
