Comment (by CarlSteffen):

 Hello - I see this topic hasn't received any comments in a while - this
 particular issue is killing me - the proposed solution would fix my issue
 but i certainly see how this change could cause unexpected (negative)
 changes to sites that have build around this restriction/bug.

 What if you simply added one line after the END IF, simply adding a whole
 new action?

 do_action( 'comment_form_after_fields_custom' );  //(or some other name
 that makes more sense?)

 I hate cluttering code up with event hooks like this, but I think this is
 really the simplest way to guarantee existing sites won't break and allow
 anyone that needs their custom fields to show no matter what, to go ahead
 and do so now.

 Thoughts?

 Thanks,

 Carl
