Comment:

 in {{{wp-comments-post.php}}} :

 {{{
 } elseif ( 'closed' ==  $status->comment_status ) {
         do_action('comment_closed', $comment_post_ID);
         wp_die( __('Sorry, comments are closed for this item.') );
 }
 }}}

 You've likely confused the global setting with retroactive comment
 closing.  That setting only affects the default setting for new posts.
 Old posts comment statuses remain the same.
