In octave mode, insert the following line:

printf ("aaaa dddd dddd dddd dddd dddd dddd dddd dddd dddd dddd #i", abcd)

move point to the beginning of last word 'abcd' and type M-j.

Also people have been observing weird behaviour in auto-fill-mode or
fill-paragraph of comment chars insertion that seems come from nowhere.
For example, in early org mode versions (probably version 4 or so) there
have been constant reports of such behaviours.
