Hm, there is `TeX-fold-preserve-comments' but this only works with line
comments.  One would have to change the code to work with environmental
comments as well.  That would probably require some work because
currently AUCTeX does not know about such comments in general.

Technical note: The comment environment of comment.sty is an exception
but there is only code to have it recognized by font-latex.  See
style/comment.el in AUCTeX.

AFAICS there is currently no option to change the behavior.
