(nth 8 (syntax-ppss)) works fine for me in something like ";; some comment
in an emacs-lisp-mode buffer"; it returns the starting point of the comment.
But I use something like below in my emacs config in one of the functions:
(or (nth 3 (syntax-ppss)) ; string
(nth 4 (syntax-ppss))) ; comment
PS: I am on the latest emacs-25 build as of today.
