I faintly remember having a similar trouble with message mode and
highlight a long time ago.  It went on for quite a while.  I posted
about it but couldn't get it resolved.  

I can't remember for sure what the fix was but I think it was
something simple like having two calls to fontlock in text mode from
old pieces of init files still lurking about in emacs or site-start.el

Might have been two similar or identical hooks to fontlock in text mode.

Do you have a text mode hook somewhere calling fontlock?
