Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket @stickypixel.

 This is caused by the comment controller calling `wp_insert_comment()`
 directly, instead of calling `wp_new_comment()`, which is the function
 that triggers the `comment_post` action and is used throughout the rest of
 the admin area.

 This might be an intentional design decision by the REST API team.
