Sadly, I think btparse might be wrong to allow this.  From bibtex.web:

"furthermore, comments may appear anywhere
between entries (or before the first or after the last) as long as
they contain no |at_sign|s" [1]

Since @comment was an afterthought for scribe compatibility, I'm not sure that 
it's very well defined or supported.  Disallowing @ in group names is might be 
the safest thing to do.

I wonder if bibclean or other parsers accept this?  The web code is too painful 
for me to decipher.
