1. The `face' property on a character under the point takes precedence
over the face name extracted from the buffer. So if the point is
located on the face name in the `defface' specification, then the
default will be `font-lock-variable-name-face' instead of the face
from `defface', because the face name is fontified in that font-lock
face.
This is funny. Did anyone ever play the trick on you where
he holds up a card that says "red", but it's in green letters,
and asks you to read the word (or, to say which color you see)?
Humans get confused trying to answer.
It is funny that Emacs gets confused in the same way.
