That seems like a performance bug (it re-fontifies something that's
already been fontified), indeed, but I don't see why that would cause
something to "fail".

If it really causes a failure, I suspect that the failure is really
caused by an underlying bug in the specific syntactic-keywords rules,
which merely gets triggered by this performance bug.
