Yes.

Same problem. The log shows:

MTXrun |
MTXrun | executing: vim "-u NONE -e -C -n -c set" "tabstop=8 -c syntax" "on
-c set" "syntax=c -c let" "contextstartline=1 -c let" "contextstopline=0 -c
source" "c:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim -c
wqa vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp "
MTXrun |
MTXrun |

You can see from above that the argument of vim command -c is not correctly
quoted. As mentioned in my last email, the \runvimsyntax generates an
incorrect vim command. For example, we expect the line in \runvimsyntax

-c \shellescapedquote syntax on\shellescapedquote\space 

Will be: -c "syntax on" in the vim command line. However, the log shows it
become to: -c syntax " " on. I think that is one problem cause the failure.

I also tried type the command manually:

vim -u None -e -C -n -c "set tabstop=8" -c "syntax on" -c "set syntax=c" -c
"let contextstartline=1" -c "let contextstopline=0" -c "source
c:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim" -c "wqa"
"vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp" 

It works. File named "vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp" generated. Next
time run texexec will get the correct pdf output. 

Another found is if tried mtxrun as:

mtxrun --verbose --noquotes bin:vim "-u None -e -C -n -V10log -c \"set
tabstop=8\" -c \"syntax on\" -c \"set syntax=c\" -c \"let
contextstartline=1\" -c \"let contextstopline=0\" -c \"source
c:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim\" -c \"wqa\"
\"vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp\" "

or 

mtxrun --verbose --noquotes bin:vim -u None -e -C -n -V10log -c "set
tabstop=8" -c "syntax on" -c "set syntax=c" -c "let contextstartline=1" -c
"let contextstopline=0" -c "source
c:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim" -c "wqa"
"vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp" "

No vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp generated. The vim log says that it:
could not source "None" 

It seems the vim may not received the -c "source ..." and other parameters.
So I move the vim command to a batch file: vimcmd.bat with following line,

call vim -u None -e -C -n -c "set tabstop=8" -c "syntax on" -c "set
syntax=c" -c "let contextstartline=1" -c "let contextstopline=0" -c "source
c:/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/third/vim/2context.vim" %*

then call 

mtxrun --verbose --noquotes bin:vimcmd -c "wqa" "vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp" 
or
mtxrun --verbose --noquotes bin:vimcmd "-c \"wqa\" \"vimdemo-vimsyntax.tmp\"
"

It works well. I haven't linux/unix machine on hand so I didn't know if this
problem is only occurred in windows. Or the mtxrun related?
