‘org-fill-paragraph’ does not correctly handle ^L characters 
(a.k.a. form feed, C-q C-l).  It should treat them as paragraph 
separating whitespace, but instead treats them as any other 
character which would appear in normal text.  Here is an example 
to demonstrate the current behaviour:

abc def
^L
ghi jkl

In org-mode, with point at the beginning or the end of the first 
or last line, doing ‘org-fill-paragraph’ (M-q) should do nothing, 
because the lines are already shorter than the fill-column.  What 
really happens is that I end up with one line which looks like:

abc def ^L def ghi

In text-mode, ‘fill-paragraph’ does handle ^L characters 
correctly, and pressing M-q anywhere in the first example results 
in no change being made to the buffer.
