Could you post some an example diff as it seems interesting that only 2 
tests tail.? You may be able to add something to a .psqlrc file to 
suppress these for regression.

Remember that because postgis_comments.sql has extra dependencies for 
the documentation build that it needs to be installed from the 
documentation Makefile. This is now under PGXS control too, so all you 
need to do is:

cd doc/
make comments-install

...and you're golden.
