[plt-scheme] change-style

I suspect you're changing the definitions text on some thread other
than drscheme's main eventspace thread. when you do that, you and the
syntax colorer are going to collide, and you end up with such contract
violations.

Probably you want to use queue-callback to run your insertions on
drscheme's main eventspace thread.
