The issue here is that the context above the POD has higher indent than 
desired in the POD context.

So while we disable indent (by default) in the POD context (being a 
block comment), new lines still get too much indent, as TextMate scans 
from current line and up, to find a line it can use to do the indent 
calculations, and here it will ignore anything in the POD, as we have 
setup the patterns to ignore those lines.

The thinking here was that anything typed in a block comment should have 
(initial) indent like what’s above the comment. But that assertion 
fails for zero-indented block comments (with indented code above them).

Your workaround, I think, makes it so that TM will just use the indent 
from the line above, rather than the first line above the POD context. 
This might also work in the general case.
