My guess would be that the syntax syncing gets out of whack which
takes the folding out with it as it falls over. You can tell Vim
that you want syntax synchronization to start from the beginning
of the file, but this comes with performance-related issues.

:help :syn-sync

particularly this section:

:help :syn-sync-first

shows how to force vim to sync up from the beginning of the file.

I had tried that, after doing some research, but it doesn't have any effect. Everything worked the same way, again.

I did a
:syntax sync fromstart

then did a :e to reload the file. Same results.
