What I just wrote was probably total nonsense because the mentioned
patch affected filling and not fontification.  D'oh.

Well, anyway.  I looked more closely at the profiling results and I
cannot see a significant difference in average execution time for the
functions in concern.  But the call count in the cases you describe as
bad is much higher.  Did you do exactly the same in exactly the same
time span when you generated the profiling data?
