Comment:

 Okay, I can verify the problem.

 This is only when you are commenting from the BuddyPress activity stream
 for a blog post and if your sub-site has "Comment must be manually
 approved" enabled.

 Steps to duplicate:
 1. Install BuddyPress on a network-wide WordPress install.
 2. In the Network Admin dashboard, navigate to "Settings > BuddyPress >
 Components".  Enable "Site Tracking" and save.
 2. In the Network Admin dashboard, navigate to "Settings > BuddyPress >
 Options".  Enable "Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum
 posts" and save.
 3. Go to any sub-site's admin dashboard and go to "Settings > Discussion".
 Check "Comment must be manually approved" and save.
 4. Now navigate to the BuddyPress site-wide Activity page and attempt an
 activity comment on a blog post from that sub-site.  If you do not see a
 blog post activity stream item, create a blog post for testing form the
 sub-site, then go back to the BuddyPress Activity page and do an activity
 comment.
 5. Activity stream comment is synced to the sub-site's blog post comment
 and bypasses manual moderation.

 I think for sub-sites that have "Comment must be manually approved"
 enabled, we should disable activity commenting on these activity entries
 since there is no way for us replicate the WordPress pending comment
 experience within the BuddyPress activity stream.
