Well, this is what I see (vim 8.0.0081)...

One syntax plugin where I can instantly tell if it's working, is this one, because it adds highlighting to Python's "self" keyword.

https://github.com/kh3phr3n/python-syntax

If I clone it as ~/.vim/pack/me/start/python-syntax and then start vim without a .vimrc, then I get this as the output for "set rtp":

runtimepath=~/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles,/usr/share/vim/vim80,/usr/share/vim/vim80/pack/dist/opt/matchit,/usr/share/vim/vim
files/after,~/.vim/after,~/Documents/dotfiles/.vim/pack/dugan/start/python-syntax

It's definitely being appended, not inserted. And needless to say, it doesn't get seen.
