M-q (aka fill-paragraph) operates on paragraphs.
The regexp's paragraph-start and paragraph-separate are used
to determine what constitutes a paragraph. Apparently their
current values are considering text as part of a paragraph
that you'd rather it didn't.
As a quick fix. Separate the paragraphs you want to fill
with blank lines. Otherwise you need to modify the regexps
to reflect your definition of what does and doesn't belong
to a paragraph.
