Steps to reproduce

In a GitHub repository I work on, I noticed that as of the last week, .vue files no longer have syntax highlighting when viewed in GitHub. I think that syntax highlighting in GitHub is determined by github-linguist/linguist. They had a release last week (v9.0.0) that updated the Vue grammar to use the one in this repository instead of the one from vuejs/vue-syntax-highlight (PR: github-linguist/linguist#7086).

I think the issue has to do with comments in .vue files. In my repository, there is a file header with copyright information at the top of every file. The file header is in a comment above <template>. When I remove that comment, I see that there is syntax highlighting for the file in GitHub.

If linguist needs to use a different grammar file or do something different from what they're doing, I'd be happy to file an issue with them.

What is expected?

I should see syntax highlighting when I view a .vue file in GitHub.

What is actually happening?

I do not see syntax highlighting when a .vue file starts with a comment.

We are having the same issue with some files in our repo.

Same goes for bigger files: We have a component which contains almost 4000 lines of code (please don’t judge). Syntax highlighting is also completely absent in this file.
