Sorry for the inconvenience. This behaviour was introduced because a lot 
of people had problems with mapping empty tags; something like:
<div id="menu"></div>
simply wouldn't be recognized because it had no contents. This was quite 
confusing, especially for people new to TYPO3.

The reason for this problem was that the core functions for handling 
markers do not handle empty markers (a space or a zero number is also 
seen as 'empty') well. The simplest solution was to add an HTML comment 
inside the marker.

This has impact for markers inside HTML comments. Can you make a bug 
report on bugs.typo3.org for this issue? That way it won't be forgotten.
