Indeed, that's a bug. A related bug that can be seen in all programming
modes is that if you type something like
// some comment (and some
// side note).
the final ) will not be matched to the opening (. It will either raise
a "mismatched parenthesis" warning or will be matched to some
unrelated open parenthesis.
Your case is slightly different since the paren is actually part
of the comment-marker rather than being inside the comment, but the
problem has basically the same origin.
I don't expect we'll fix this problem any time soon, tho.
