No, that is expected behavior. Try this:
<? // blah, blah, blah ?> This will display
.... versus this:
<? /* blah, blah, blah ?> This will be hidden */ ?>
Comments with //double-slashes and #hashmarks terminate when the
code container terminates, because the ending ?> indicates that it's
time for the parser to stop interpreting code. However,
/*slash-starred comments do not terminate, as the parser expects a
closing comment tag*/.
For all intents and purposes, you could consider the /* as a
sleeping pill, and the */ as the alarm clock. ANYTHING that happens
between those will have no attention paid to it by PHP.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.
