If that is not possible, I guess I have to redefine those faces. However, NEWS should mention this, and perhaps list the names of the faces. It is not obvious that faces starting with compile- also affects grep. It would be nice if compile.el were set up to install other properties for parsing purposes, instead of using the fonts for that. The font lock mechanism can be used to do this. This way, it would be ok for users to turn the fontification on and off in the usual ways, and it would not affect the parsing.
