I think that was fixed in upstream Vim in https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/11278 recently. It will be pushed out in the next MacVim release which is probably end of October. For now you probably have to use set ft directly.

Closing for now as the issue is already fixed and merged into macvim. It will be released in r175 as I mentioned.
