Subject: Saving file erases minor mode font locking.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
When saving files, the lisp files for some style files (e.g. expl3, minted)
call font-latex-update-font-lock, which has the following lines to revert
the font locking to defaults (around line 1287-88 of font-latex.el):

(setq font-lock-set-defaults nil)
(font-lock-set-defaults)

This removes any font locking done by minor modes (e.g. hl-todo-mode,
outshine-mode). There should be another way of applying these styles that
does not override previously set font properties, or reapplies the font
lock applied by minor modes.
