You are right. Seems like a bug in Vim syntax file.

If /bin/sh points to dash it sets g:is_posix variable. Then if this
variable exists it does not add highlighting for function keyword even
if bash script was recognized (line 402 in my copy of syntax/sh.vim).

As a workaround you can set g:is_bash in your Vim configuration.
