Starting with vim-8.0.1298 (and possibly earlier) the paren match highlighting within quoted strings stopped working. It appears to have been corrected as of vim-8.1.0115. See this resolved bug I logged upstream: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/3190 I'm not sure offhand what would constitute a more recent stable release of vim 8.1 to add to portage, but at the moment I'm running gvim/vim/vim-core version 8.1.0181 with no issues out of my local overlay. This was just a matter of renaming the existing 8.1.0034 ebuilds.
A few notes about the changes made to the bug: To be clear, there never was any app-editors/vim ebuild for any 8.1 except app-editors/vim-8.1.0034. Also, as I originally entered it, the issue only exists in versions < 8.1.0115, not <= 8.1.0115.
