As linked elsewhere here, tight loops that never preempt are being fixed in Go 1.8/1.9[0]. Looks like a flag may been added to Go 1.8 called "GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops" that adds a preemptible point at the end of a loop. It's behind a flag for performance/testing reasons, but they are working on it.
