 Responding to @azaozz:

 I have a plugin that is affected by this in some cases.  It's been an
 outstanding bug for a long time now, and I can't fix it within the plugin
 itself.  See the Graceful Pull-Quotes plugin.  Users can input an
 "alternate" text within an HTML comment, but with this bug they can't use
 tags at all.  A similar (the same?) bug prevents HTML entities in comments
 -- they get malformed in the same way as tags.  Non-English speakers
 contact me all the time with this.
