A warning/error is okay to glare in places that should draw the user's
attention. But for file attributes it is an annoyance confirmed by
your own opinion:

IMO, this whole feature of highlighting attributes is an annoyance,
and the only reason I could live with it until now is because it
previously had a not-so-in-my-face color. Now someone made it glaring
red, which is too much for me.
You can expect the same angry reaction from other Emacs users after releasing
Emacs 22.2 without fixing this annoyance.

No, it fixes the original reported problem since font-lock-comment-delimiter-face
defines colors for text terminals.
