Sven-
This was reported as a bug on 2010/02/26 and reported as partially resolved
2010/03/19 in https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/view.php?id=58 - here is the
resolution notice: "This can only be partially fixed. The reason is that the
precise knowledge of this.promiser comes too late to use in the comment
expansion. All we can know is the promiser pattern described in the promise. If
the promiser is a regex, for instance, we cannot say what that expands to."
Possibly not what you wanted, but at least it's an answer...
