 State-Changed-Why:
     Not a bug.  Like Carlo said, the standard mandates that,
     in translation pass 3, comments are removed.
     This occurs before translation phase 4, in which
     preprocessing directives are handled.  Thus, theoretically,
     the comment-handling part of the preprocessor has no idea
     whether it is in a false conditional or not.
