I don't think code should rely on this anyway.

Yes, it's probably easier.  This said, the jit-lock delay is not
something specific to mailcap syntax: it's just a preference of yours
and it probably applies to all major modes.  So a better fix for this
would be to work on jit-lock to offer an option for
jit-lock-contextually to be instantaneous.
