Repeated "parse-sexp-propertize-function did not move syntax-propertize--done" with emacs built from git master

[hexmode]

Recently, editing PHP files in emacs has become rather frustrating. It seems that at any point I could end up with an backtrace like the following one I got when I tried to close the parens:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "parse-sexp-propertize-function did not move syntax-propertize--done")

emacs26 seems ok.

[mallt]

Could you try to delete and reinstall (or recompile) the php-mode package in emacs 27.0.50 to see if this fixes this problem?

[hexmode]

It did disappear once I removed the elc file. Then it showed up again, but, today, it looks like it is gone.

[hexmode]

Note the problem may be related to flycheck and any of the -php, -phpcs, -phpmd, or my -psalm checkers.

Because yesterday was evidently my "play with emacs" day, I managed to get eglot (which uses flymake) working and ditched flycheck.

[hexmode]

doh.... I spoke to soon. Just after I typed that comment I went to try to edit the file again and ran into the error while trying to save.

backtrace:

[hexmode]

And, if it makes any difference, I just ran M-x php-mode RET and, immediately after, I could save.

However, once eglot highlighted problems that it found with the psalm-language-server, the error returned.

[hexmode]

disabling some minor modes makes saving work again. php-mode-debug is the same as above with the following minor modes removed: magit-wip-after-safe-mode magit-wip-after-save-local-mode emojify-mode prettify-symbols-mode.

[hexmode]

Eh... This seems intermittent. In any case, I just ran into this again and saw that fontification stops on line 344. Don't know if that means anything. I suppose it could be the results of multiple invocations of php-mode.
