I looked into this bug. It is caused by `sentence-end' not matching
the sentence ending with three periods. The second rule in `fill-nobreak-p':
;; Another approach to the same problem.
(save-excursion
(skip-chars-backward ". ")
(and (looking-at "\\.")
(not (looking-at (sentence-end)))))
tries to match the end of the sentence, but fails.
One solution is to fix the regexp in `sentence-end' to match three
periods. However, this might have an undesirable effect in other places.
A more localized fix is to change the rule above to skip only one period
backward before trying to match the sentence end.
