Just a quick follow up to this post in case somebody has the same
problem one day...

After removing plugins,etc, re-creating the same Vim configuration on a
VPS & installing on different OSs, it was down to the fact that these
"strange highlights" were Vim's spell checker on just one machine (face
palm). Didn't spot it because the spell checker thought `autocmd` was OK
but not the `u` in `\u@\h:\w` (it also complained about `etc` only when
it was commented out).

Only reason I found out was due to my habit of practising navigating
through files full of code as if I was going to correct the spelling
misatkes & I actually did hit `zg`.

We live & learn.

Cheers,

Phil...
