Yes, that's what I meant. This hack:
(modify-syntax-entry ?> "< " message-mode-syntax-table)
(modify-syntax-entry ?\n "> " message-mode-syntax-table)
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
(lambda () (setq-local parse-sexp-ignore-comments t)))
could go somewhere into lisp/message.el if it weren't so fragile: the
comment syntax could change according to `message-yank-cited-prefix' and
also I has to be a comment only if it starts in the first column... Do
you follow? Know any way to handle these cases?

Yes, yes and yes. Of course in natural languages there's no compiler
formally telling you the message is unsyntactic, but I personally will
go for a tool that gets it right almost everytime (some value between
90% and 100%), as long as the price when it gets it wrong is not too
high. And simple syntax changes to help the syntax-ppss heuristic are
the low-hanging fruit.

Not suprising considering that brings back precisely your old
implementation :-)
(oh no an unpaired smiley!)
