The key to your question was:

"and it occurred to me that ANTLR does not really inspect follow set, it
seems to inspect only what's left in the rule itself."

That improvement/bug is what I intend to fix :)  Actually, ANTLR v4 lexers will just plain work better (i.e., more like what you expect) ;)
