You are still allowed to do this.  But at the start of the second line
`texmathp' will return nil.  The second line is fontified as math
however, so there is some inconsistency now.

I am not sure what's worse, texmathp getting confused with math
starters and stoppers in comments or having to use something like
\iffalse\(\fi
instead of putting \( in a comment.

$ is unaffected by the change, by the way, because it is syntactically
fontified.
