That is simply because timer code is normally run in a way that's
completely hidden from the user, so if the user happens to hit C-g while
a timer is running, it's probably not because he wants to interrupt the
timer, but rather because he wants to interrupt the thing he's
currently doing.
Timers (and fontification, post-command-hook, ...) should run quickly,
or otherwise re-enable interrupts using with-local-quit.
