This question is too vague. What is the difference between an empty line and the way they are treated actually? More importantly, where, precisely, comments should be allowed to appear in an Org buffer? IOW, you need to define exactly what a comment should be in Org, first, if the current definition doesn't suit you (or someone else willing to change it). Then, we'll know where the pitfalls are.
