I don't think so: it's very useful for text-mode to match parentheses
(even if it only works 90% of the time), so I definitely don't want to
change that (that would prevent using C-M-f and friends). But code
shouldn't assume that syntax-ppss gives any kind of useful info in such
modes because in practice it's much too frequent for parentheses not to
be properly paired.

The behavior of the old electric-pair-mode did not use syntax-ppss and
its `)' simply always skipped (if there was a `)' to skip, obviously).
The assumption was basically that it's easier for the user to hit ')' one
more time than to delete an extraneous ')'.
