1) what version ov vim? 2) syntax realted things are in /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax how vim identify a file type shold be written in /usr/share/vim/vim63/filetype.vim anyway i do not think it is a bug. What files are supposed to be the two you created? they have not a recognizable syntax. It is just that vim thinks that your file is of a certain type and the related syntax highlight is applied.
