i can confirm that using the latest sh.vim file from your website (installed
as you suggested, in my private .vim directory) fixes the problem. Thank you
for that.
Regarding your comment:

I don't know if it is ever explicitly mentioned, but it is pretty clear that @
can generally be used throughout to refer to all the args together, sort of as
if they were all concatenated together. I find the bash man page large and
complicated, so I can't say for sure how explicitly stated this is.
Also, just out of passing interest, I tested this under VIM 7.4 at some point
and the bug did not present, so it seems to have been introduced between then
and now.
Anyway, I am considering this as "problem solved". On Wednesday, July 29,

The following line of legal bash code gets flagged as an error:
echo ${@:i:1}
The above line displays the i'th command line argument.
I am running vim 8.1, with lots of patches applied. My sh.vim files (3 of
them) are all dated Jun 15, 2019.
