Isn't it the case that such parentheses would sometimes be displayed in conjunction with conditional display specs., i.e. (when condition . spec)?
Also, I'd also expect show-paren-mode to affect parentheses having
display properties like ‘raise' and ’height' that change the appearance
of parentheses but do not display something else entirely.
