According to Yukie's description, it seems like this wrap_comment 
function has a serious i18n problem .

When I look in lxr, everything's done using Text::Wrap :
http://lxr.mozilla.org/bugzilla/source/Bugzilla/Util.pm#299

And when I look at Text::Wrap in CPAN, it looks like it might known 
nothing about i18n :
http://search.cpan.org/~muir/Text-Tabs+Wrap-2006.1117/lib/Text/Wrap.pm
"It is possible to control which characters terminate words by modifying 
$Text::Wrap::break. [...] The default is simply '\s'; that is, words are 
terminated by spaces."

I think the solution is to replace it with Unicode::Wrap :
http://search.cpan.org/~nesting/Unicode-Wrap-0.03/Wrap.pm
This module implements UAX#14: Line Breaking Properties.

Unfortunately, Unicode::Wrap doesn't seem to be a direct replacement, 
also it might have performance problems "This module can be slow. It's a 
pure-Perl implementation that goes through an expensive classification 
process per character."
And it won't do Thai correctly ;-)
