It's either a feature (best-effort forgiving parsing) or a bug (number of
comment closes do not match number of opens
and we should return an error.) Unlike C, Solr supports nested comments.
Both of your examples have two
comment starts, but only one end, hence the entire string is commented from
the first "/*".
