Whew, it took a while to solve this one. Apparently we've had some
minor bugs in the SaveAs routine that was mis-managing buffers in
addition to the minor syntax highlighting issues you saw.

I think I've got it fixed now, everything seems to test out for me on
GNU/Linux and Windows. You can find the updated file here:

http://cream.cvs.sourceforge.net/cream/cream/cream-lib.vim

Just copy it over the file with the same name on your system. Does
that fix what you were seeing?
