I'm not sure if it should qualify as a bug or as a feature, to be honest.

Thanks.  `keep` seems right for the case where the match is inside
a comment, as in your case, but there are other cases where we want
to override the previously applied face (e.g. $math$).

I pushed a patch which re-arranges the rules to avoid that
other problem.
