I'm not quite sure I follow you, but either with the proposed patch, or
what I take to be your suggestion here, `mark-paragraph' works quite
differently here than in Emacs 27, and we should get the previous
behaviour back.

With this buffer:

[Message part 2 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

calling (mark-paragraph nil) gives me this in Emacs 27:

[Message part 4 (image/png, inline)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

I.e., it selects the previous paragraph, even if you're at the end of
the buffer.
