It is indeed wrong.
Further observations:
(i) The bug doesn't happen in C Mode.
The bug happens:
(ii) in Emacs 5.21.3/CC Mode 5.31.4
(iii) With jit-lock disabled (thankfully ;-)
(iv) in Emacs 5.21.3/CC Mode 5.30.3
So it seems its entirely a CC Mode bug. I'm going to try and track it
down, though I suspect it could be quite tricky to find. Thanks for
giving that recipe for producing the bug.

M-o M-o fixes the fontification for me.

I think there're also other candidates for that description. ;-(
