The "recent comments" block stopped reporting out "recent comments," not sure what's going on. Code problem?

Duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/40754. This only happens if you don't type a subject for the comment yourself, in which case Drupal doesn't auto-generate a subject (that's the real bug). So this 'empty string subject' is actually correctly displayed in the block...

I just followed up on it in my site ... and it turns out that the unreported comments are being improperly tagged as "Anonymous," when they are, in fact, written by one of the users ... and it only seems to be that user who's affected.

Some more detail -- the anonymized comment doesn't report out in the "Recent comments" block or in the tracker. The anonymized comment is reported with "author: anonymous" in admin->comments. However, when I examine the comment, the proper author is listed with it.

Aha! I apologize for the lack of specificity earlier, but I experimented a little, and I've found the moment when the error is introduced. Basically, if a user edits his comment, its author, at least as far as tracker and the "recent comments block" are concerned, shifts to "anonymous."

I just downloaded the latest comment.module from cvs.drupal.org, and it's still doing it, so I'm not sure this bug has been squashed.
