Comment(by Viper007Bond):

 Replying to [comment:8 otto42]:
 > How is it a separate issue? It does exactly what I said it did last
 year. The comment got converted to the 8211 incorrectly. It's the same
 issue.

 `<!-- foobar -->` works though, right? That was the original issue.

 The reason `--` is being converted to `&#8211;` in your above example is
 because the HTML tags in the comment are breaking `wptexturize()`'s
 comment detection (it doesn't realize it's an HTML comment). It's totally
 a valid issue, but this is a bug in the HTML comment detection code rather
 than all HTML comments.

 In short, I'm just nitpicking minor technicalities. Don't mind me. :)
