Sorry I missed this before you pushed the patch, but I'm not sure this
is a bug.  If I revert the setting of `comment-multi-line' then with
your test scenario, the result of auto fill is

    /* test test test test test test test test test test test test test */
    /* test test test 

So the opened comment was correctly terminated, and a new one started,
just as documented.  Perhaps you don't like that `comment-multi-line' is
nil by default, but it doesn't look like a bug to me.
