Well, I feel stupid. I just finally got syntax highlighting for PowerShell to work in Vim. I did a little Googling and found my solution in the PDF document linked form this article. Why you need an 8 page PDF to explain this is a completely different issue.
Turns out I was just missing some lines in my filetype.vim file. I already had the syntax, indent, and file type plugins, I just didn't think to add the code to activate them (for some reason I thought that stuff was loaded dynamically). However, page 6 of that PDF gave the answer:
" Powershell
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.ps1,*.psc1 setf ps1
I just added those lines to my filetype.vim, below the corresponding entries for Povray files, and voilà! Syntax highlighting now works.

We don't need no steenking syntax highlighting! I told you I was hardcore! *GRIN*
Syntax highlighting is great, I surrender my will as of this date.
Or...na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING!

I used to be hardcore. Or, at least, I tried to be. Then I realized it was way too much work and I couldn't really pull it off anyway. So I went back to using a fancy IDE with syntax highlighting and intellisense. To each his own.
