Interesting.
If I start a new blank file, e.g. vim test.tex, the .tex is not
recognised, i.e. :TTtab does not show the document class templates.
BUT if put, e.g. \documentclass[a4paper]{article}, as a first line then
subsequent openings of the file work fine. Also pressing F5, brings up a
list of tex packages to choose from.
Looks like your bug has been fixed.
Should reassign my bug to vim, once I figure out how. :-)

Many new features have been added: multi level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, on-line help, filename completion, block operations, folding, Unicode support, etc. This package contains a minimal version of vim compiled with no GUI and a small subset of features in order to keep small the package size. This package does not depend on the vim-runtime package, but installing it you will get its additional benefits (online documentation, plugins, ...).

put the attached file in your home directory as .vimrc it contains a lot of useful options (syntax highlight, line numbers, cursor position ... etc) for vim.
