If I remember correctly, the problem isn't really that `C-g' isn't able
to break, but that we then call the redisplay immediately again, which
then calls the font-locking code.
Let's see... yes, with this slightly modified version of Paul's code,
after hitting `C-g' eight times, I get a redisplay finally and it says
"Called 8 times".
So I think there's scope for us to do something practical here with this
annoying problem. It's hard enough to develop font locking code without
Emacs suddenly (and unbreakably) hanging on you when you've typed in
some buggy code.
