I don't know if there is great way to solve this (ignoring the release 
issues you guys are considering for solr), but a simple solution might be:

In Lucene add a new rewrite method call highlightRewrite or something. 
By default it just calls rewrite, but for the handful of constantscore 
queries, they can rewrite as a Range,Wildcard,Prefix query would. Then 
you could optionally call highlightRewrite instead of rewrite before 
highlighting, giving you highlights for those queries at the expense of 
the max clause issues.
