IIUC the file is a single long-line.  Font-lock works line-by-line (in
theory major modes can override that by providing their own value for
`font-lock-extend-region-functions`, but regexp-based fontification is
hard to do with our regexp enging if not working line-by-line), so even
if jit-lock only requests fontification of a 1500-char block, font-lock
rounds it up to a whole number of lines (and then proceeds to call
`parse-partial-sexp), which would explain what you're seeing.
