Comment:

 This issue is flagged by PhpStorm's static analysis as well, see
 [attachment:"phpstorm-static-anslysis.png"].

 Here is the problematic code: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/328ab83beb153ffa6d5378b26bb4ef2ceee49c47/src/wp-
 admin/includes/dashboard.php#L1077-L1103

 It seems a very simply fix, to just add before the `do`/`while` loop:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $comments_count = 0;
 }}}

 This issue appears to have been introduced in r60643 to fix #56499.
