So you're saying that filling should not use indentation when filling
top-level text and that would solve your use case?
Hmm... I see some problems with that:
- your original message reported that the whole paragraph was indented
(apparently by 4 spaces), so either that paragraph was not "outside
of any environment" or there is something I don't understand.
- that would introduce unexpected difference between otherwise similar
circumstances (top-level or not-top-level text).

Yes, I don't think we can satisfy everyone without someone having to do
some extra configuration to express his preference (which is what
fill-indent-according-to-mode is for).
But I could offer another "way out", based on your example text: the
indentation code could potentially be modified to try and recognize
paragraph-beginnings and indent them by some extra N spaces, so as to
look like:
This is a sample paragraph of text that is long enough that it
may need to be filled. Here's a second sentence to continue the
paragraph. And one more sentence for good measure.
I personally wouldn't like it, so it would still need to be controlled
by some configuration variable. And I'm not sure it could be made
reliable enough.
