Here's an additional data point.  Bisection shows that the segfault
(with the given recipe) first shows up with a change to CC mode in July:

  message:
  CC Mode: Fontify declarators properly when, e.g., a jit-lock chunk begins
  inside a declaration.  Changed cc-engine.el, cc-langs.el, cc-fonts.el.

It seems likely that there is a longer-standing bug in the syntax
handling code which was exposed by this change.
