This definitely sounds like a bug, what git version are you using?

It is sort of a bug, in a very peculiar: try amending such a commit 
_interactively_.  It will not work.

The reason: you are not supposed to start any line in a commit message 
with a '#'.  I would actually have expected "git commit -m" to refuse such 
a line.

  the line can also come there during import from another VCS, through
email, or so... I think it's more reasonable to deal with them when
filling in the commit message to the editor than in all the other
places.

I`ve been using this and never had any problem.
