Since you are selecting whole lines to be commented, you might find
comment-dwim (M-;) more to your liking. (If you select partial lines,
it may also split them if the current mode only has end-of-line
comments.)

FWIW I agree with you: a region that ends at the physical start of
line, before indentation, should not be considered to include that
line.
