That's because paredit-mode only signals an error if there's a paren or
quote mismatch---whenever `check-parens' errors.  paredit-mode signals
an error for the following chunk for me,

;;; Xref backend
;;;

;;;###autoload
(defun imenu-xref-backend ()
  (unless imenu--index-alist
    (imenu--make-index-alist))
  (when (and imenu--index-alist
             (not (progn (require 'etags) tags-table-files)))
    'imenu))

(cl-defmethod xref-backend-identifier-at-point ((_backend (eql 'imenu)))

I can work around the problem by doing,

    (setq paredit-override-check-parens-function #'always)
