I figured as much.  It's not worth it then.  At least not for me.

I figured hooking whitespace as well as movement would catch it.  So
you type or delete inside a word and then reposition the cursor some
how (arrow keys, search, C-e, mouse, etc.) then recheck the line you
were on when you started to move.  I don't know if that would be
possible to catch cursor movement.  There would probably be corner
cases with string-insert-rectangle, search and replace and other
operations that perform automated edits.

In any case, if font-lock can't support it, I don't think it would be
worth it to DIY it.
