Thanks for your comment.  I'm not sure if you want to change this in
tex-mode.el as well, but the current code of
`doctex-syntax-propertize-rules' should be changed like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/lisp/textmodes/tex-mode.el b/lisp/textmodes/tex-mode.el
index ab94036d01..d43eb5f4cc 100644

-     ("\\(\\^\\)\\^A" (1 (doctex-font-lock-^^A))))))

 (defvar doctex-font-lock-keywords
   (append tex-font-lock-keywords

^^X is also a comment starter beginning with doc.sty v3 (which will be
part of next LaTeX release).

Best, Arash
