I guess this code hasn't changed much in the intervening years and the bug still exists. If I trace through filling the "bar" line, it fills from point 134 to point 136 (the beginning of the next line), so it's pretty clear it's not matching the entry properly. I tried to debug this a bit, but I'm mystified by the regex used for paragraph-start Line 1363 (set (make-local-variable 'paragraph-start) "\\*\\|\\s *$\\|\f\\|^\\<") As far as I can understand, the second disjunct corresponds to the regex '\s *', or any sequence of whitespace characters (including the empty sequence). This is equivalent to the '\s-*' it seems to have replaced. I'd be surprised if emacs lisp regex syntax changed, so I guess this made sense to someone at some point.
