The run time files were not tracked by the patch system, in that no patches were released for updates, so it's not surprising your vim has out of date run-time files, but a recent patch level. Things are better with mercurial.

Anyway, it's not that much (the lines starting "syn region" are 118 and 160 characters long):
*sh-embed* *sh-awk*

You may wish to embed languages into sh. I'll give an example courtesy of
Lorance Stinson on how to do this with awk as an example. Put the following
file into $HOME/.vim/after/syntax/sh/awkembed.vim: >

be highlighted using the awk highlighting syntax. Clearly this may be
extended to other languages.
