IIRC an earlier version of the code did exactly what your patch does.
The problem is that the \n you modify belongs to the previous line, so
you're now dealing with a multiline keyword here.

This causes problems for example if you go and modify the line just before
the "end": the refontification of that line will remove the annotation on
the \n.

I've installed the patch below instead,
