An automatic tracking category for pages with errors in <math> (when parsed by texvc) would help finding these pages and fixing the errors.
This is already a feature of the MathSearch extension.
This error is made worse by the difference between the syntax used in MathJax and texvc. In http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback&oldid=569279227#Math_text_that_doesn.27t_parse_when_in_VE a unicode character was used in a formula, the editor was probably using MathJax so the error did not show up. There seem to be a few such errors. A google search https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Failed+to+parse%22+site:en.wikipedia.org+-Talk%3A can be used to find some.

Bug 72240 will make it better again. I'll try to migrate this feature from MathSearch to the Math extension.
