Comment(by matthewc):

 I just added some more info to the forum thread linked above. In my case,
 this issue seems to be caused by the debian package for wordpress using a
 separate copy of phpmailer which is no longer php4 compatible. When the
 comment approval process attempts to load phpmailer to notify you a new
 comment has been posted, it hits a parse error and stops. I haven't dug
 into why the edit comment method still works, but I presume it doesn't try
 to email you in that case.
