If the bug is with Emacs' fontification routines there's hardly anything
a user can do but give a simple and precise recipe to reproduce the bug
and wait until someone familiar with the code fixes it.  At least that's
what I would do.

If it's timer based it might depend on whether you're able to intercept
it.
