What version of GtkSourceView are you trying?  Paolo recently rewrote
cpp.lang because it was broken.  That change went in 0.2.1.

Also, how are you trying it, with the test-widget program or gedit? 
test-widget sets its highlighting by getting the file mimetype through
gnome-vfs, so maybe it's not getting the right type?  (Nautilus will
give you the detected mimetype).  And gedit now has a menu which let's
you choose the highlighting type.
