Yup.  Looking at the code, this looked suspiciously easy to fix.
However, there's absolutely no tests for this stuff, so my confidence
that I didn't break anything here is pretty low.  I've added a couple
tests (based on your test case) and pushed it to the trunk, though.  Let
me know whether it works in your real cases or not:

Or whether this breaks something else, and if it does, please do feel
free to add more tests to test/lisp/textmodes/fill-tests.el.  :-)
