Comment:

 Still existing in the latest version of WP (3.3.1) which I just updated to
 from 2.9.something.

 The code which sets it off is:
 {{{
 <!-- <li><a href="/news-and-events">News &amp; Events</a>: A record of
 news and events related to philosophy of religion.</li>  -->
 }}}

 I think I must have edit core before to work around this bug. Which, funny
 thing, with the update ...

 (Also, where's the "bloody annoying" severity level, I don't think it's
 "major", but it's certainly not "normal")
