With the indent/scala.vim
from the current 2.8.0.final release I have the same outcome... But I know, that it worked in a earlier release, because I have one file here where it works. Here it is:
" Vim indent file

let line = substitute(a:line, '"\(.\|\\"\)*"', '', 'g')
let open = substitute(line, '[^(]', '', 'g')
let close = substitute(line, '[^)]', '', 'g')
return strlen(open) - strlen(close)
endfunction

But I have no clue, where the change was introduced... Tried to find it in the SVN history at https://codereview.scala-lang.org/fisheye/browse/scala-svn/scala-tool-support/trunk/src/vim/indent/scala.vim
