We ran into the same issue with the Forth syntax file and just use syn-match for words that include '['. The [...] matches an optional sequence like %[..] in a pattern. There's actually a help entry for E789. It could be changed to respect the 'isk' value(s) over the optional sequence but I'm not sure one is better than the other. It's not inconceivable that the pattern might be heavily used even though '[' is included in 'isk' for a small number of keywords.
