The missing comment doesn't always register to them as "accepted but 
unapproved", usually more as "comment system failed".  Besides that, 
their comment does appear in the list with this change, but *only to 
them* until it is approved.  This could slow the rate of adaptation of 
comment spammers.

If not this, then some more overt kind of notice would be beneficial.
