I would imagine it is intended since *#_* is a reader macro. *#_* is not intended for commenting. Rather, it instructs the Clojure Reader to ignore entirely the subsequent form. This is much different from the *comment*macro (which simply takes any number of arguments and returns nil) or the *;* comment syntax.
It might be a bit involved to have *#_* and the subsequent form appear commented through clojure-mode's syntax highlighting. However, it would also incorrectly express the semantics of *#_* which, arguably, is counter to the goal of syntax highlighting.
