If you want it in, then leave it in.  That said, I think you're
discounting the usefulness of the tests.  In this situation, the first
thing I would do is look at the tests and see whether this behavior
has been tested and what the results are.  If it hasn't been tested,
then my first step towards fixing the bug is to add the appropriate
tests.  Maybe we have different philosophies on comments; I don't like
to comment things are obvious, and the tests make this point obvious.
