Agree; I'll fix it.  The docs (info pages) are incorrect on a relevant
point,
incidentally; they claim that defining variables whose value is set to the
face of the same name is popular but obsolete; the reality is that
font-lock-add-keywords requires the variable definitions.

Why not just define a font-lock-error-face instead?  Other modes
(such as compilation) define their own error faces.  Fix it in Emacs
and the modes will follow.
