You can try using this function, if you want to modify hilit.el:

;; Author: Lynn Slater (lrs@indetech.com).
(defun true-mode-name ()
  "Returns the name of the mode in such a form that the mode may be
  re-established by calling the function named by appending '-name' to
  this string.  This differs from the variable called mode-name in that
  this is guaranteed to work while the values held by the variable may
  have embedded spaces or other junk."
  (let ((major-mode-name (symbol-name major-mode)))
    (substring major-mode-name 0
               (or (string-match "-mode" major-mode-name)
                   (length major-mode-name)))))

Using this instead of 'mode-name' will probably solve your problem.
(Of course, the strings that mode-name and true-mode-name return
are different.)  Lightbrite (another highlighting package) uses this,
for this reason.

Hope this helps,

Marc
