Yes, I think it is fixed now.

That is a good question.  I do, however, not believe that it would
be easy to define font lock keywords which can handle the agenda.
For example, when an item changes state, its face is changed, to
something with depends on where the item comes from and, for example,
how close the deadline is.  And more stuff like that.
So font-lock regexp matching is now enough here.
Yes, it would be enough for tags, but not for other stuff.
