I've noticed this, too. It seems to be down to the fact the parser seems
to not group <% and %> as a pair - instead, it just observes the < >, so
that in hash assignments, the > of the => is taken as the closing token
for the erb tag <%.
So in your example, above, the <%= is matched (in the opinion of the
parser, at any rate) by the first => in your hash assignments. In the
correctly highlighted cases, there are no other angle brackets embedded
between your erb tags.
I don't know if this has been logged as a bug? I haven't time to check
right now, I'm late for work already! ;-)
