Note that this is a consequence of bug 4715. Right now we just cut off the
comment if it is too long; adding a confusing, but correct counter helps a lot.

Now to the question: I think adding the word "bytes" would help, since (a) some
people know what a byte is and (b) even those who don't and see that the
counter differs from a character counter may realize that "bytes" can mean
something else. They probably don't assume it is a character counter if there
is an unknown term behind the number and so they have less expectation and get
less confused if the counter differs from their expectation.
