[ Don't know enough about Fortran to know what is "insert a multiline
  comment" in this context, neither do I know what is a "multiline
  statement" or why it would "require fortran-continuation-string", so
  I'll skip this part of your bug-report.  Presumably Glenn will be able
  to give you a more useful answer in this area.  ]

Maybe a way to fix this problem, then, would be to make fortran's
indent-line-function indent to column 0 when called on an empty line in
one of those contexts.
