It's not clear simply because it's not the case.
Font-lock uses syntax-tables rather than comment-start and comment-end.
Your problem is that XEmacs uses different settings for
"two-char comment-markers of style b":

The `56' above is XEmacs specific. In Emacs, you'd do
use (?/ . ". 124b") instead. I think the Emacs syntax is accepted
by XEmacs as well.
