I am using a similar trick in my .vimrc: instead of changing syntax on and off,
I change the color of the status line depending of modified state of the buffer.
I believe the same technique may be applied to the problem in question.
Quotation from my .vimrc:
" Bogus value, just not to leave it undefined
let was_modified = 2
autocmd BufEnter,BufReadPost,BufWritePost * call WhenModified(1)
autocmd CursorMoved,CursorMovedI * call WhenModified(0)
function! WhenModified(force)
if a:force || &modified != g:was_modified
execute 'setlocal statusline=%' . &modified . '*%t\ %L'
\ . '\ %y%r[%{&tw}]%=\ %{Moon()}\ %{Lang()}\ %{Icon()}'
\ . '\ %{&fenc}\ %m\ %-15(%{HexDec()}%)%-10(%l,%v%)%P'
let g:was_modified = &modified
endif
endfunction
Instead of my long "execute 'setlocal statusline...'" you can put any command
at your wish. A bit complex, but works for me.
