Ick. I've no idea what's happening here. Filing a bug report with a
test case would be appreciated.
In the meantime, the best i can do is point out that #*<whitespace>*#
is the more common technique for exercising complete whitespace
control. There are fewer complications with multi-line comments than
single line ones. Also, that technique allows people to indent the
source instead of squish it all to the left. Might be better to stick
to the more used path.
