Actually, I don't know how.  How do you ask, when you're in the
font-lock machinery, what the original point was?  Like here:

       ,@(when (memq 'missing-newline-at-eof whitespace-active-style)
           ;; Show missing newline.
           `(("[^\n]\\'" 0 (if .... something) t)))))

By the way, have I whined about how difficult debugging font-lock stuff
is?  I can't put a `debug' in there, for instance, to examine the
calling sequence, which would probably tell me what I need to know.
