This is a rather strange fontification error. Sometimes lines after a 
certain line or the last part of the line itself gets fontified as 
strings (which is incorrect) and sometimes not. I do not believe I am 
able to make a simple example of this. Instead I have put up a copy of 
the file where I saw it on the web:

  http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/DL/html-syntactic-err-l164.html

To reproduce the error download this file, start Emacs with

  emacs -Q

open the file (switch to html-mode if it is not opened in html-mode) and 
go to line 164. There can be a little bit different errors, but the most 
common is that the lines below this line are fontified as string. I 
found right now that if I do

  M-g g 164

then I see the error above. However if I scroll down line by line to 
line 164 then the fontification is ok.

For other versions of misfontification I am not sure how to reproduce 
them at the moment.
