Comment:

 @Cantdosleepy,

 This is actually by design.  The `wp_allow_comment()` function allows the
 post_author to comment on their own posts.  You can use the
 `pre_comment_approved`  filter to change this behavior for your site.

 I agree that the "Comments must be manually approved" option is
 misleading, but I hesitate to change the current behavior.
