If this is done probably depends on how much the function is seen as
being for internal use only.  Its use in AUCTeX is probably already a
bit hackish but so is lots of compatibility code.

Not sure what you have in mind, but we could also use something like the
following.  Not that it is particulary nice.

      (condition-case nil
          (jit-lock-force-redisplay buf start end)
        (error
         (jit-lock-force-redisplay (copy-marker start) (copy-marker end))))
