I further tested and observed the same unexpected behavior with vim -N -u NONE -i NONE . The vim version is 7.4.1.

It also happens on a different machine with vim version 7.4.182, the expected behavior occurs (the display issue does not occur). It's possible the display issue was fixed between patch 1 (syntax-highlight-display-issue machine version) and patch 182.
