Perhaps something akin to `font-lock-global-modes'? The help text for
that says:
> If nil, means no modes have Font Lock mode automatically turned on.
> If t, all modes that support Font Lock mode have it automatically turned on.

Then the default value for `show-paren-global-modes' could be
`(prog-mode)' or `(prog-mode text-mode)', or even `(not special-mode)',
depending on one's opinions about whether `show-paren-mode' makes sense
for prose. That would cover both this bug as well as providing an easy
way for users to customize the major modes where `show-paren-mode' is
enabled (this is already possible with `show-paren-local-mode', but it'd
be a bit simpler with `show-paren-global-modes').
