I'd call it a feature.  I mean, when you have commented out sections,
you'll most probably intend to uncomment them again.  Otherwise, you
could just delete them, no?

Anyway, you could also try to change reftex-section-pre-regexp from
"\\\\" to "[^%]+[ \t]*\\\\" which might do the trick.

Bye,
Tassilo
