Because the "parser" we use for motion and font-lock assumes that any
open block (paren in lisp, brace in C) in column zero is at top level.
If you wrote

DEFUN ("junk", Fjunk, 0, 0, 0, /*
{ brace yourself }
*/

you'd be in a similar situation: font-lock would get hosed.

grep for Alan Mackenzie on recent emacs-devel, there's a long thread
on this brain damage going on there.
