[web2py] html comments in view not being ignored in {{if ... }} block

[Lewis]

I have this in a template:

    {{if response.menu:}}
              <div id="menubar"><!-- for navbar  style="position:absolute; 
left:245px" -->
              <!-- <div id="navbar">{{=user_bar()}}</div> -->
              <div id="navbar">{{='auth' in globals() and 
auth.navbar(action='user',separators=(' ',' | ',''))}}</div>
              <div id="menu">{{is_mobile=request.user_agent().is_mobile}}
              {{=MENU(response.menu, _class='mobile-menu' if is_mobile else 
'sf-menu',mobile=is_mobile)}}</div>
              <!-- for menu:    -->
              </div>

    {{pass}}

This generates the following error:

<type 'exceptions.NameError'> name 'user_bar' is not definedVERSIONweb2py™(2,

When I remove the offending comment, the view works properly. Seems like a 
bug. Note that sublime text2 shows highlights the comment consistently wiht 
all other html comments.
