This was reported as a bug against Emacs 22 in Debian unstable. If you don't consider this a bug, just let me know, and I'll close it.
Briefly, the claim is that font-lock-global-modes doesn't work as documented -- values of t and nil are treated identically. (If possible, please maintain the CC to 475649-forwarded.)
