Comment:

 I had this problem also, and I am sure I set both the setting on the post,
 and in options to not allow comments. In addition, it was set to require a
 logged in user for commenting, and there are none.

 I'm no expert in php, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that
 script actually kills it.
 It is not die() in the code, it is wp_die(), a function set in
 wp_includes/functions.php.
 Looking at the code there, I see no reference to the actual "die()"
 function that would kill the script.
 Still looking around, I might be missing something, but I don't even see
 the functions.php file included in the wp_comments_post.php file.

 Reopening the ticket.
