Even that is questionable -- there are many (unfortunate) situations in
which font-lock is used to apply syntactically meaningful properties to
the text that might then be used by Lisp programs. It's fine if
font-lock skips configuring the lack of display, of course, and it could
be OK for it to skip setting the face property (since a program that
depended on examining it could be said to be broken). But even then,
what if a non-interactive Emacs is supposed to be running tests of
font-lock itself?
