No, it does not have to do with the fact that C-j happens to be LFD.
It has to do with the fact that the default binding of C-j is
newline-and-indent, and that function should indent correctly in all
modes, by way of the indent-line-function variable.
M-j is bound to indent-new-comment-line by default, which reads some
variables to learn how to make a comment. So the fix is to set the
variables so that the comment comes out right, rather than to change
the keybinding.
(Compare M-; which is comment-dwim in all modes, regardless of comment
syntax. You don't have comment-latex, comment-c, comment-pascal, ...)
