According to what I understood the new compile.el library in CVS Emacs
now uses font-locking to highlight with different colors the various
kinds of compilation messages. So lmcompile.el shouldn't be necessary
anymore. Maybe could you change your .emacs like this and see if that
gives good results for you?

(when (fboundp 'compile-reinitialize-errors)
  (add-to-list 'compilation-finish-functions
               (lambda (compilation-buffer finishing-message)
                 (lmcompile-do-highlight)))
  )

Sincerely,
David
