Thanks for taking the trouble to report this.

I've tried these out myself and c-fill-paragraph behaves for me as it
should.  I suspect you might have some minor mode enabled that CC Mode
isn't taking into account.  Would you please try these things out in
emacs -Q (or emacs -Q -L /path/to/cc-mode-5-32).  Do they still go wrong?

Perhaps it would be best if I could see your CC Mode configuration.
Please dump this with C-c C-b and send it to me.
