Is the following a bug or an intentional change from Max 4 to Max 5?

Problem: Numbered arguments in Comments do not work

1.    See attached patches as an example

2.    child_patch.maxpat: Place a [comment] object. Enter #1 as the content of [comment]

3.    parent_patch.maxpat: Instantiate child_patch.maxpat as a subpatch or bpatch. Make the first argument "the_test".

Expected Results: #1 in [comment] in child_patch.maxpat will now display "the_test" (this is the behavior in Max 4)

Actual Results: #1 in [comment] in child_patch.maxpat remains #1
