font-lock-string-face comes from font-lock-syntactic-face-function,
because ' has string delimiter syntax in conf-mode (see
conf-mode-syntax-table).  I think it should be possible to make a
syntax-propertize rule that catches unmatched quotes and sets them to
punctuation syntax.  We do something similar in sgml-syntax-propertize.
