Bug#390911: Zsh syntax incorrectly handles nested quotes/apostrophes.

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-094+1
Severity: minor

If I have a string with an apostrophe in, such as:
	EMAIL="Benjamin A'Lee <bma at bmalee.eu>"

The syntax highlighting for the inner quoted string continues on until
the next apostrophe, and treats the closing double-quote as the start of
another nested string.

Expected behaviour is for the inner quoted string (which isn't meant to
be one) to end with the closing double-quote (this appears to be how Zsh
handles it). This is also what happens if I 'set filetype=sh'.
