How does that help, if the tokeniser isn't using the lexbuf?
Here's my parser:

let parse_tokens (parser:'a parser_t) (tokens: Flx_parse.token list) = 
  let toker = (new tokeniser tokens) in
  try 
    parser (toker#token_src) (Lexing.from_string "dummy" )
  with _ ->
    toker#report_syntax_error;
    raise (Flx_exceptions.ParseError "Parsing Tokens")

The token supplying function never looks at the lexbuf.
The parser does, to report errors, so I have to trash
the parser exceptions, since the locations are wrong.
