It was actually an off-by-1 error in `c-mask-paragraph'.  It's now fixed
(I hope :-).  I'd by grateful if you could try out the fix (now in the
bzr repository), just to make sure I haven't introduced a new bug.

Thanks for such a high quality bug report!

==[ Emacs 24.0.50.1, after filling (much worse) ]==

The problem seems to associated with the fact the the comment close
token (*/) is not preceded by an initial space (which, had it been
present, would have cause the opening and closing asterisks to be
aligned.

==[ Before filling paragraph ]==

/*
    >> abc
    >> def
 */
{
    return 0;
}

==[ Either Emacs, after filling (optimal) ]==

/*
    >> abc def
 */
{
    return 0;
