Syntax highlighting sometimes broken when started

[Philipp-M]

Summary

Sometimes the highlight queries seem to be broken (tested with typescript):

Broken (note the @type highlighting for const or type, although, I've checked none of the @type queries should match const or type):

Correct:

Seems to happen roughly 50% of the time.

This may be related or even a duplicate to/of #2484

Tested with this script:

const constant = "const";

namespace some.namespace {
  function something() {}
}

declare namespace GreetingLib.Options {
  // Refer to via GreetingLib.Options.Log
  interface Log {
    verbose?: boolean;
  }
  interface Alert {
    modal: boolean;
    title?: string;
    color?: string;
  }
}
type MyGreeter = () => number;

type GreetingLike = string | (() => string) | MyGreeter;
declare function greet(g: GreetingLike): void;

Yeah, this is most likely another reproduction case of #2484
