Ha. It can't have been well tested. The problem became clear to me as I was eating dinner ;-) Many of the regex's in yaml.py start with \\s. The jEdit2py script stupidly thinks that the lead-in character is a backslash, rather than what \\s represents, namely [ \t\n\r\f\v] As a result, the regex pattern matchers never succeed because they are only called with a backslash as the first character! The fix is at rev 5905eeb... The fix disables the entry for '\\' in rulesDict1, and adds entries for ' ','\t' and '\n', with the same list as for '\\'. Now syntax coloring appears to work.
