Comment (by coffee2code):

 Patch still applies cleanly.

 Incidentally, specifically with TwentyEleven, the tag balancing bug causes
 all subsequent comments to lose a majority of their styling (the
 background color, speech bubble effect, commenter avatar display) (at
 least in Chrome) in addition to being able to make everything that follows
 bold and/or italicized.  (These specific lost stylings don't necessarily
 affect all themes, but as I stated earlier, '''all''' themes can be
 aesthetically mangled.)
