Here is another:

Using filladapt-mode, I'm able to fill end-of-line comments with the Ilya's 
version.  This is broken in the Emacs version, both CVS and stable.

I just checked, and adaptive-fill-mode is broken in the same manner.

I can turn filladapt off in the mode hook, but still regression is never good.
