MW outputs &#<!-- foo -->61; or &#<!-- foo bar -->61; as if it were = (and so an "=" sign).
The PHP parser strips comments completely, we need to preserve them. We don't plan to support comments in the middle of HTML entities (as in this case) or things like [<!-- look at this -->[link]]. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/limitations#Comments_in_arbitrary_places.
