What version of gnu-emacs are you working with?  Going into C mode,
everything seems to work fine:

						/* column 48 comment */
 /*  column zero comment  */

etc. ...

You do realize that if you use a numeric argument (except minus), you
are simply reusing the indentation of the previous comment in your
program.  Just move to the column you want your comments at, and hit
C-x ; (with no arguments) to set the column.
