Right, and `message-yank-prefix' (which gets used as the value of
`comment-start') has a space, meaning those lines aren't recognized as
comments.

Maybe try setting `message-yank-empty-prefix' to "> "? For your own
citations, anyway, that ought to ensure the space is there. I don't know
about other people's citations, though...
