Yepp, this is also my understanding.  I've prepared a test .dtx file
which is attached.  The corresponding .ins file is also attached.  Run
`pdftex dtx-test.ins' and have a look at the .sty file.  I think the
bottom line is something like this in .dtx is valid:

%% $a + b =
%% c$

and this not:

%% $a + b =
%%
%% c$

Best, Arash
