What happens here is that the initial font-lock goes over the whole
currently visible section, but as soon as you edit one line, font-lock
will be called only for the part of the buffer that has changed, and it
seems your font-lock rules work differently in this case because the
context has changed.

For better understanding how font-lock actually works, I highly
recommend using font-lock-studio
https://github.com/Lindydancer/font-lock-studio
Also, take a look at the other linked packages in the description. In
your case, 'highlight-refontification' could be useful to see which
parts of the buffer actually get refontified when you edit it.
