I can reproduce it with `emacs -Q' here (transient-mark-mode is t in
current emacs 23). The trick is to use `comment-region'.

Here's the recipe:


sh$  emacs -Q

  C-x d ~/emacs/lisp/ext/org-mode/lisp RET
  % m \.elc$   RET
  L y
  L y
  L y
  L y
  L y

  ... until files are loaded successfully

  C-x C-f file.org
  M-x auto-fill-mode



To get the error, you must select a region:

   C-SPACE C-n C-n C-n
   M-x comment-region RET # RET

Note here: the indentation is wrong. You might want to correct this,
before going on (comment char not in first column). It doesn't change
the behavior.


Now type some `C-j' more text and see what happens.




The bad thing is, once it started, it never ends. No matter where text
is wrapped, you get the `#' at the start of line.







Also, _no_ comment char is inserted, if add a comment by hand without a
preceding new line. To try this, you'll have to restart emacs -Q

     # Asdfsdf - NOW ADD A LOT OF TEXT TO THIS COMMENT ...
