It works if I do

M-x kill-local-variable paragraph-start

It seems that fill-nobreak-p returns non-nil almost everywhere, so the
filling code never finds an acceptable place to break the line.

vhdl-mode uses

(set (make-local-variable 'paragraph-start)
       "\\s-*\\(--+\\s-*$\\|[^ -]\\|$\\)")

This will match [^ -], which is very broad.
