This looks like the usual "issue" with syntax files in Vim.  There's a
tradeoff between accuracy and performance.  If you want full accuracy,
then use "syn sync fromstart".

This is discussed in the reference manual at the :syn-sync help topic
and in the bullet just above the 06.3 help topic in the user manual.

If you always want this to happen for this filetype, then put the sync
command in ~/.vim/after/syntax/haskell.vim.
