Hi Christian, As described below, the highlighting performed by :MatchParen gets confused by the AC_MSG_* syntax region.

Since the opening ([ are highlighted as configstring, they aren't considered a valid match for the closing ]). Changing the syntax region's name to configmsg, like in the attached patch, fixes the problem. The contents are still highlighted like a string, but it doesn't confuse the paren matching.
