This is not a bug.  See Yaakov's announcement in the list on May 12,
"[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: vim-7.3.943-1".  He explains that the
packaging scheme has been changed and that /usr/bin/vi is now Vim
compiled with the "small" feature set.  The "small" feature set does
not include the +syntax or +eval feature and does not support either
the :syntax or :let command.

If you want to use those commands, run vim and not vi, or alias vi
to vim.  If you want to use the "small" vi, you'll have to adjust
your ~/.vimrc to avoid using commands that are not supported.  See

    :help no-eval-feature

Gary
