There is a fix for this (:syn sync fromstart is the usual incantation that helps) but (as a Vim user) I take your point that Vim's highlighting is not as you want it out of the box, and that matters.

So, I guess I'm back to my original question: where can I find a decent editor that can do syntax highlighting out of the box for literate Haskell?  (Or, alternatively, where can I find a syntax-highlighting editor I can expand the syntax handling of on my own?)  VIM is broken out of the box and if I'm going to mess around with syntax highlighting files, I'd at least like to do it in an editor I'm likely to be comfortable in.
 
You need to take into account the fact that highlighting literate Haskell is hard, if you want it done completely right, because there are two entirely distinct sets of syntax (Haskell and LaTeX) being interspersed (and from the look of one of your examples, you use CPP syntax in places as well). That is never going to be easy to handle. If you were happy with the LaTeX being left unhighlighted, it wouldn't be too hard to handle. Equally, if you want the LaTeX highlighting with the Haskell unhighlighted, that's easy enough as well. It's the combination that's hard.
 
So, you should probably:
 
1. Accept that you're going to have very few, if any, good options
2. Think about your priorities - if you have to give something up, what would hurt you least? (FWIW, if you're happy for the LaTeX to be left unhighlighted, setting lhs_markup="none" in Vim might be enough for you).
 
Beyond that, I can't offer any suggestions - I use Vim and am happy with it, but I know it's limited when dealing with mixed-type files (HTML + CSS + JavaScript is another common case).
 
Hope this helps,
Paul.
