If this is what you get after hitting SPC (which triggered auto-fill),
then it's a bug that you should report with M-x report-emacs-bug (although
you might want to check whether it's already fixed in a more recent version
of Emacs first).
If that's what you get after hitting TAB on the second line, then it's
a problem with indentation of comments (which is sadly partly separate from
the indentation that takes place during auto-fill) and there might be
some convention that you need to follow (such as using some other comment
marker, or using two or three ! or ...).
