Comment:

 I agree with the original ticket. It should display "Comments closed"
 ($none) if comments are disabled, irrespective of whether pings are
 enabled. The link goes to the comment section, which will just say
 "Comments closed" even if pings are enabled. Many responses come as pings
 rather than trackbacks, so the presence or not of a trackback link is
 irrelevant - the permalink can always be used. I don't believe people
 follow a "Leave comment" link to leave a comment via a trackback; rather,
 a trackback is a consequence or writing a related post.

 My application of this tag would be to have it say "Leave a comment" when
 there are no comments. This becomes nonsense if I can't have it say
 something different when comments are disabled.
