To chime in here, there still appears to be the problem that Vim doesn't understand that the terminal is capable of displaying 256 colors *unless* one explicitly sets 'set t_Co=256' in ~/.vimrc. I don't know if Byobu can do anything about that but it seems Vim only understands 256 colors if the TERM variable contains a string like "256color". At least according to http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim if I understood it correctly.

I can provide screenshots if that helps.

Using byobu version 5.15, tmux 1.5.
