[Bug 1088442] [NEW] Empty Bash array wrongly highlighted as error in "do" construct

[l0b0]

Public bug reported:

To reproduce, simply cut'n'paste this into a new file:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
foo=()
while true
do
    bar=()
done

The two sets of parentheses will be formatted differently in VIM 7.3:
With a black terminal background as the default, the first construct
shows up as a dark blue "(" followed by a dark blue ")", both on a black
background. The second is a white "(" on a black background followed by
a white ")" on a red background, the latter indicating an error. These
two instances should be formatted the same.
