Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed on the default branch and on the version 6 stable branch. This is
certainly weird behavior, but only affects comments entered on the command
line.

The comment is treated as a comment, but the open bracket or parenthesis is
also causing the lexer to look for more input on the next line.

This may have also broken block comments (with '#{' and '#}') entered on the
command line, although the broken behavior is slightly different.

This may have something to do with a recent change to the lexer to fix
continuation lines within open arrays
