It's not to do with the sgml-specials, the problem is that the standard
auto-fill-function, `do-auto-fill', calls `default-indent-new-line'
which calls `comment-line-break-function' regardless of whether point is
inside a comment or not. As far as I can tell, it works in most modes
because they disable auto-filling outside of comments in the first
place. sgml-mode doesn't, because most of its non-comment text is just
plain text that should be filled normally.
So I think there should be a sgml-mode specific
comment-line-break-function, which checks whether it's in a comment or
not (presumably using syntax-ppss).
