With Vim 7.3.646 on an Ubuntu Linux system, I went to a directory
containing an HTML file and executed the following (one line).
view -N -u NONE --cmd 'let &rtp = $VIMRUNTIME' --cmd 'filetype plugin on' --cmd 'runtime macros/matchit.vim' index.html
That used only the stock files that come with Vim. I could use % to
jump between the beginning and ending <html>, <head>, <body> and all
the other tags I tried, so the matchit plugin worked fine for me.
Try that and see how it works. If it doesn't work, there is
apparently something lacking in that version or installation of Vim.
If it does work, then there is something wrong with the way you have
tried to enable the matchit plugin.
HTH,
