As has been discussed, CC Mode is, sadly, by design, incompatible with the 
new feature (and I wonder what the ";-)" above is supposed to convey). 
It insists on accessing the whole buffer, and doesn't downgrade gracefully 
when it can't.  In this case, with emacs -Q, after M->, 
(jit-lock-fontify-now 999600 1001100) is called, which calls 
(c-font-lock-fontify-region 999600 1000034), which does (widen), and calls 
(font-lock-default-fontify-region 991200 1000034) because these (991200 
and 1000034) are the bounds of the locked narrowing.  For some reason 
(which I don't have the patience to track down), because that (widen), 
which shouldn't be there in the first place, doesn't do what the function 
expects it to do, font-lock-default-fontify-region never ends.
