The same might be said for MediaWiki itself -- or of JavaScript, or CSS, or any 
of a dozen or so technologies involved!

If this is for an archive, I would capture the HTML from a common browser 
rendering and save that instead.

This has not been my experience. When I post a comment on our site, it shows up 
immediately. Try it if you like in our Sandbox page: 
http://www.EcoReality.org/wiki/Sandbox

Do you have a reliable Internet connection? Sometimes when ours is slow, the 
comment won't show up until refreshing the page several times. But this is not 
a Disqus problem.
