Indeed, that is the case (I tried it). If you put "syntax on" in the
system vimrc, then the user cannot use "set go+=M". I think this is a
good reason to remove "syntax on" from the proposal. If it's left in, you
might as well just eliminate "M" as one of the guioptions, because it's
totally unusable unless it goes in the local machine's system vimrc, which
many users will not be able to change, or will not want to tweak it every
time they build a new Vim.
