This can always happen even with interrupt priorities: imagine that the
first interrupt happens 1 microsecond before the timer interrupt, even
with the priority, the handler for first interrupt will be executed and
the timer interrupt will have to wait for the end of this handler before
it is serviced.

I do not think so. However, what can be done is implement interrupt
controller muting using the priority register, see:
