Why does fill-paragraph in org-mode produce something like this:
bla bla http://some.where/ bla bla bla
//bla bla
The // on the second line was added by fill-paragraph and is aligned
with that on the first line. I did not change any setting. Or at least
I do not think I did. I did a customize-save-customized however, to
save another totally unrelated setting.

I think this is a long-standing bug (though I don't know if it's ever
been reported as one). It comes up in a lot of contexts.
If you start with the following paragraph, and re-format it with the
fill column after the word "multiple"...
The greater than symbol: > is used for multiple purposes when one
is out riding the inner tubes.

At a guess, this is a bad side-effect of some code that was written
for formatting quoted paragraphs in mail messages and so on.
Myself, I normally format things with fill-paragraph for its speed, but
in cases where it messes up, I use an elisp wrapper to run an external
script:

I think in my case it was related to something saved by
desktop-save-mode. It disappeared when I closed this org file buffer
before restarting Emacs, but unfortunately I did not save the old
desktop file. I think some fill paragraph pattern (ie
comment-start-skip) for another mode than org-mode was stored in the
desktop file for that file.
I can only guess how that happened.
