I thought too it was common practice, but it looks like I have been 
misunderstanding that. See this thread on Emacs devel, especially the 
answers from Stefan and Jason:

Yes, probably that is the right question. Unfortunately it is quite hard 
to find out exactly where the offending code is when the error happens 
during fontification. (A patch to Emacs C sources is needed to make this 
easier.)
