Comment:

 @davidshq Hi and thanks for the report!

 In addition to the line break tags, the comments in your example are
 wrapped in a paragraph for me:
 {{{
 <p>Some regular content here.</p>
 <p><!-- This is Important --><br />
 <!-- Don't Forget This --><br />
 <!-- Why are you Forgetting? --><br />
 <!-- Adding individual comments for each line is --><br />
 <!-- fun! --></p>
 <p>Some regular content here.</p>
 }}}

 If no one uses the Visual editor for your site, you might want to try
 combining the comments into one and indenting each line of text within it
 (for now). Switching to Visual, though, would edit the comment to one
 line. The comment still wraps in the paragraph tag, so this option would
 only remove the line breaks.

 {{{
 <p>Some regular content here.</p>
 <!--
      This is Important
      Don't Forget This
      Why are you Forgetting?
      Adding individual comments for each line is
      fun!
 -->
 <p>Some regular content here.</p>
 }}}
