The problem is that inside of verbatim environments you can't put
anything like empty lines/comments/whatever in order to put AUCTeX
back on track.

So the problem is somewhat more serious.

One possible remedy would be to retain any spacing before optional
arguments when filling, assuming that the user had a good reason to
put them in in the first place.
