Can you give me precise recipe to reproduce this, please.  It worked OK
for me when I tried it.  When I did the following:

(i) M-: (setcdr (cadr c-comment-prefix-regexp) "#*") ; Changes the entry
          ; from (awk . "#+") to (awk . "#*")
(ii) C-c . <CR> awk  ; from within an AWK buffer

, M-: paragraph-start gave me "[ \t]*\\(#*\\)[ \t]*$\\|^\f"
                                        ^^
which has incorporated the new value from c-comment-prefix-regexp.
