Maybe copying and pasting has included some characters that are causing issues (that are not exactly visible). I have comments all over the place and they have not caused any issues (begging. Middle, and end of configs) and I am running 4.0.1-1 and 4.0.2 without issues. I¹d try to recreate the config files maybe.
Also, if your configs are so long, you could always put your project on GitHub so we can see the configs and then you don¹t have to worry about length of messages. Just a thought.
