It's called sm-c-mode. And no, it's not in GNU ELPA, it's in elpa.git.

Never set `syntax-table` text properties from
font-lock-syntactic-face-function (this will bring nothing but
problems that are difficult to track down). Been there, done that.
Do it from syntax-propertize-function.

Sounds like you need to adjust other parts of the code, yes.
Alternatively, don't use `syntax-table` text properties at all, and
highlight the nested strings "by hand" (with regexps and/or manual
parsing).
