Font font-lock-extra-managed-props, at least, char-property-alias-alist seems perfect: you can declare my-abc to be an alias of abc, add my-abc to char-property-alias-alist when the minor mode gets activated, remove it when it gets deactivated, and as a bonus when clearing fontification font-lock will only clear the instances of abc that it applied itself. Very neat.

Clément.
