The test was
;; foo
;;
;; bar
where comment-only-p would give the wrong results.
Anyway, I think it's ambiguous whether whitespace only should be a
comment or not. The current algo considers this to be one comment:
;; foo
;; bar
And I think that's correct. If we consider whitespace lines to not be
comments, this would change how our comment navigation commands work.
So there's some DWIM in this area, but I think how it currently works is
basically the way we want it to work, so I'm closing this bug report.
