-R is supposed to be followed by the name of a function.  You gave it
the empty string.  That should probably have been an error right off
the bat, but it does mean the suffix can't possibly be autoremoved.

However, the same highlight behavior occurs even if you do supply a
working subroutine.  Does anyone remember why suffixfunclen needed to
be stored separately?
