Concerning the Java generics problem (List<String> is made to List<string> [..]
</string>) the problem probably is not fixable, because as you can see when 
debugging
the code with firebugs at line 699 of file shCore.js the 1.5.1 release the line

        highlighter.Highlight(element[propertyName]);

element[propertyName] already returns the deformed html. The deformation is 
obviously
done by the firefox engine and not fixable by the script.

A workaround for me is to use the encoding 
List<String>
