My recollection is that the code that parses a command line is
basically the same whether the line is in a script or not.
Certainly there are places where that code checks to see if a
script is active, but I don't think it does so when it looks
to eliminate comments.

Agreed.  That seems like a bug that needs a Bugzilla filed.  

My question is if the comment character is valid on a command line typed in 
versus in a script file.
