On MediaWiki 1.28, editing a section whose name contains HTML-tag-like names does not generate a sensible default edit summary.
Suppose the section you are trying to edit is named "<foo>, <bar>" (with foo and bar not being valid HTML tags). Then the auto-generated edit summary is "/* , */", which is not very useful.

(Re-tagging as MediaWiki-Page-editing because the code for the behaviour described in this task does not exist in the software components behind comments; rather it resides in the software component that uses the comment backend, which is the EditPage handler in this case.)
Comment Actions
These tags (and content between them) are explicitly removed by Parser even before the section name is sent to EditPage.
