1. Start "emacs -Q" and create a buffer "foo.pl" with the contents

my %h = (foo => 1,
     q_foo => 2,
     );

2. Notice that "q" is coloured black and "_foo" and everything thereafter is
    coloured red.  Expected is that the whole key is black and that
the subsequent
   text is not affected.

Note: just loading a file with the above contents is not enough.  The
problem appears to happen during typing, specifically at [Enter] after
"2,".

A workaround is to change "_" to be a word character, but that comes
with changes
in word movement commands thereby upsetting ancient muscle memory.
