AFAICT this is still reproducible in master (c83590b).

Out of curiosity, I took a look at make-mode.el, thinking it might just
be a matter of adding a [^\t] in a regexp somewhere after a ^ anchor,
but I'm not used to debugging font-lock setups and I don't really know
which occurrence of makefile-targets is responsible for this spurious
fontification (maybe the one paired with makefile-match-dependency,
which relies on makefile-dependency-regex?).

It sure would be nice if make-mode could check whether a line starts
with a tab before slapping the makefile-targets face on it.

(Supporting .RECIPEPREFIX would also be neat I guess, though the fact
that this variable can be set multiple times in a single makefile will
probably pose an interesting challenge.)
