I am not able to test this solution, because I don't work with antlr
files (and I doubt any of the other core Emacs maintainers do either).
I'm CC'ing the author of antlr-mode, Christoph Wedler, though we haven't
heard from him in a while.

In the meantime, could you try to explain what removing the
beginning-of-defun call in antlr-syntactic-context might break?  (Surely
that call is there for a reason.)
