Now I think of it... I discussed the context switch issue I'm referring
to in this thread:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2005-April/msg00089.html ,
"Double syntax context switch".

The fix I applied for this issue might well be the cause of your
problem:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/mc/syntax/php.syntax?root=mc&r1=1.7&r2=1.8

Or maybe not, as " " is still a context, although not exclusive... Might
make a difference.

See if reverting that patch fixes your issue (reverting it will recreate
the issue mentioned in the thread above). Or see if (only) defining a
keyword '"*"' fixes your issue. Although that would break the
highlighting of the escaped characters in double quoted strings. Sigh.

Leonard.
