Hmm... gl_state is not supposed to be kept "live" across buffer
modifications.  It's supposed to be used only *within* read-only
primitives which set it from scratch at the beginning (by calling
SETUP_SYNTAX_TABLE, SETUP_BUFFER_SYNTAX_TABLE, or
SETUP_SYNTAX_TABLE_FOR_OBJECT).  The backward_i and forward_i fields are
actually reset in the first call to update_syntax_table, by passing it
a true value for the `init` arg.

So the problem you describe might be due to some place where we fail to
reset gl_state before using it, or maybe it's a bug in
SETUP_*_SYNTAX_TABLE*
