Though Vim has fairly powerful syntax highlighting features, its
highlighting language is also not exactly easy to reason about.
Frankly, a lot of my syntax file, which is probably what you are
referring to when speaking of insanity, was developed using a heavy
dose of trial and error, especially when it comes to module syntax.
Even before first-class modules it was far from perfect.  Feel free to
risk your sanity and send fixes... ;)

Regards,
Markus
