I tried this in the latest python-mode.el for Emacs, and while it isn’t able to 
handle it correctly, at least the damage is local.  That’s been one of the 
problems with Emacs syntax highlighting: it usually works quite well these days 
but when it gets messed up, the incorrect highlighting can extend deep into the 
file.
