I think both your examples should be treated the same, although I don't know whether they should be treated as one or two comments. Invisible whitespace is generally ignored elsewhere in Haskell, e.g. when determining if a literate comment is next to a bird track, or after a \ starting a string gap, the rationale being that if you can't see a difference then there shouldn't be one.
