Comment (by nacin):

 When comment flood protection is triggered, does that mean we actually
 issue a wp_die() and fire _xmlrpc_wp_die_handler()?

 This is one of the more amusing bugs I've seen recently. But it is not so
 straightforward.

 I'd actually like to suggest that this behavior is actually not entirely
 unreasonable. I don't want someone to use a single post to attempt to post
 a pingback on every single post I've ever written. It could also become a
 backdoor for DOS attacks. But, I'm going to guess our application of
 comment flood protection for pingbacks is actually completely accidental.

 There are possibly a few things we could do here. My initial reaction
 would be to consider allowing multiple comments rapidly if the comment is
 a ping, but still within reason — say, three or four.
