Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Replying to [comment:5 johnbillion]:
 > It's worth noting that relying on the global `$post` object during the
 `comment_post` filter is not reliable anyway, because
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.4.1/src/wp-admin/includes
 /ajax-actions.php?marks=981#L973 it's not globalised when a comment is
 submitted via an AJAX reply in the admin area].

 or there's another reason to globalise `$post` or any other variables
 inside `wp_handle_comment_submission()`.

 The point about the AJAX handler is pretty persuasive. wontfix seems OK to
 me on those grounds.
