I'm not sure if you're objecting to the restriction itself, or just
the phrasing, e.g. would it be okay like this?

"The specified function may call `syntax-ppss' on any position
before END, but it should not call `syntax-ppss-flush-cache',
meaning that it should not modify the buffer at positions earlier
than those on which it called `syntax-ppss'."
