Yes, sort of.  The change is wrong, and should be fixed a different way,
I think.

The problem is that if you have this:

---
foo

bar
---

and comments out the blank line in the middle with `M-x comment-region',
you get

---
foo
          %%
bar
---

Which doesn't seem right, so I assumed that `indent' didn't work for
latex-mode.  But that's probably a bug in the `indent' version instead,
because `indent' should work in general.
