I have no problem with syntax loading.

Did you try reinstall/upgrade/downgrade vim ?

:help syntax-loading
    Source $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim ....
:echo $VIMRUNTIME
    /usr/share/vim/vim73

:help VIMRUNTIME
or see  http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/starting.html#$VIMRUNTIME
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/starting.html#$VIMRUNTIME 
for what VIMRUNTIME is, how it defaults and how it can be set.
(:let $VIMRUNTIME = "/home/piet/vim/vim54"  -- or what about :letglobal here
?)
