Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 Why do you have comments on an unpublished post?

 The recent comments widget merely shows the latest approved, non-spam
 comments in the database. Since a post received a comment, it is assumed
 that the comment has been published.

 Checking to see if the post has actually be posted or not would require an
 extra query per displayed comment (as we'd have to query the parent post)
 and in 99.9999% of cases, it wouldn't be needed.

 Recommend wontfix.
