I haven't tested, but strongly suspect that the difference between the two
groups of files is that the ones showing with an executable file icon have one
or more of the executable permission bits set in their file permissions (mode).
If, in the shell, running "ls -l" shows a correspondence between the files in
question and those that have "x" anywhere in the first field, then running
"chmod a-x affected-file-names" should fix the problem. This, of course, is
assuming that you don't need to execute them directly (by clicking from the
finder or typing their names at a prompt).

It's all a matter of what syntax files MacVim has available and what code it
uses to determine which one to apply (by setting the "filetype" variable). I'm
assuming that your ".gpl" files are for Gnuplot. The runtime files for current
MacVim are under:
/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/Resources/vim/runtime/
And MacVim has a syntax file for Gnuplot, kept in syntax/gnuplot.vim (under
that directory).
There are entries in the filetype.vim and scripts.vim files which will set the
filetype variable for a given file to "gnuplot" if either a) the filename ends
with ".gpi" (note not ".gpl") or b) the first line of the file starts with "#!"
and contains "gnuplot" (more specifically, contains what looks like a valid
path to gnuplot).
I'm guessing either the rules have changed a bit since the last version you
used (MacVim generally incorporates the latest version of Vim available), or,
perhaps you used to have a custom setting to treat ".gpl" files as gnuplot.
This could be accomplished by adding the line:
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.gpl setf gnuplot
to your ~/.vim/filetype.vim file (creating the directory and file if
necessary). I suspect others here can suggest slightly cleaner/more proper
methods of implementing this, but the above ought to work.
Cheers,
Carl
