When I change line 225 from this:

The problem goes away. For my purpose, dropping comments is fine; I imagine there is probably a better solution, and would love to hear it.

Inkscape actually currently drops top-level comments the same way, for the same reasons (unless I fixed it recently and forgot -- but I don't recall figuring out the proper way to deal with it).

Having checked, such comments are definitely valid, though:
