Wanted to say thanks to the Wing guys for fixing this in 3.0.3.  I got a reply 
that a patch had been committed to their SVN less than 12 hours after my 
email.  Wingware's rapid support response is truly impressive (feel free to 
quote me).

Some minor nits though...  

Leading spaces seemed to be stripped in such cases, in contrast to multi-line 
wrapping:

# this is a comment. It is too long for this line.  Maybe I'll wrap it. Hmm, 
that didn't work so well

wrapped:

#this is a comment. It is too long for this line.  Maybe I'll wrap it. Hmm,
#that didn't work so well

compare to multiline wrapping:

# this is a comment. It is too long for this line.  Maybe I'll wrap it. Hmm,
# that didn't work so well it's super long I can't belive how long this 
comment is.  Wow, I wish wrote comments this long in my real code

wraps to:

# this is a comment. It is too long for this line.  Maybe I'll wrap it. Hmm,
# that didn't work so well it's super long I can't belive how long this
# comment is. Wow, I wish wrote comments this long in my real code

Similarly, wrapping a single line comment starting with ## doesn't quite work 
right:

## It is too long for this line.  Maybe I'll wrap it. Hmm, that didn't work so 
well it's super long I can't belive how long the comment is

wraps with a single # on the 2nd line:

## It is too long for this line.  Maybe I'll wrap it. Hmm, that didn't work
#so well it's super long I can't belive how long the comment is
