I don't understand what a "syntax checker" has to do with it.
Notwithstanding the fact that such a checker assumes all Org obeys to
a single syntax definition, which is what I'm struggling for, but is not
the case actually, it would report, in this case, that syntax is valid.
How would that help?

I generated a 32000 lines long file and couldn't reproduce the problem.
What Org version are you using?

It would help. So would an ECM for the reported infloop.

Also you can try to set `toggle-debug-on-quit', C-g amid the infloop,
and report the backtrace.
