I agree, but, like you, I'm not sure it will matter in practice.  Again,
this was the solution that was already in Org's repo at the time I
backported Emacs's 6711a21f1.  However, it's easy enough to switch to
using an org-font-lock-ensure variant that avoids these issues, so I
will do that (in an updated patch and on Org's maint).
