This is one of the elusive cc-mode bugs that isn't easy to reproduce.
AFAIK it depends on some cache in cc-mode getting out of sync. So you are more likely to see it on a large file you have edited in several places. It might even depend on what kind of editing you have done. I think this is a symptom of some underlying bug.
I see this in 23.3 and the trunk at least 2-3 times per day when editing code with a lot of templates. The < and > are mistaken for start/end brace or parentesis.
Save the file, kill the buffer, and reopen the file usually fixes it.
