It is "work in progress", so it does work in some cases (e.g. if you
add a "*" line as in:

 /*
  *
  * Multi-line comment here.
  * This comment spans
  * multiple
  * lines.
  * Better fill it!
  */

).  The patch below seems to fix one half of the problem (tho it's
probably better to set adaptive-fill-function buffer-locally rather
than let-bind it, this was just a quick-hack).  Tweaking the
paragraph-separate regexp (so as to recognize the "/*" line as
a paragraph separator) should let you fix the second.
