    I think so; in particular, text at the top level not containing
latex commands should have the same filling rules as text in text mode.

    I think there is something else going on; that paragraph was
contained in absolutely no environment.  As an experiment, I indented
the first line only of the original paragraph by 20 spaces.  The result
was that the entire paragraph is indented 20 spaces.  I can't think of
any argument for why this makes sense.
