Sounds like a bug in the `syntax-propertize-function` of the major mode
you're using (or otherwise a bug elsewhere in that mode where it touches
the `syntax-table` text property).
You might want to open a bug report (against the major mode) and give as
much info as you can (of course a reproducible recipe is ideal, but it
might be tricky to come up with one).
