I can't remember the source of this info, but I tried tracking down information on this problem, and the (I believe) author of the Python syntax coloring code for Emacs said this is a problem intrinsic to the Emacs internals that can't be fixed.
Of course, I assume he's implying that it can't be fixed with a reasonable amount of effort, but he made it sound nearly impossible.
