[racket] scribble/lp: comments stripped, how to stop?

Hi Matthias,

I cannot seem to get it to work. I can get scribble to be happy, but
not the scribble/lp file.

First try: (somewhere in the middle of the file)
@(begin
   #reader scribble/comment-reader
   (chunk <hs-from-xs>
          (define hs ; (xi+1) - xi
            (map - (rest xs) (drop-right xs 1)))))
Second try:
@chunk[<hs-from-xs>
       #reader scribble/comment-reader
       (define hs ; (xi+1) - xi
         (map - (rest xs) (drop-right xs 1)))]

Both can be scribbled with the comment when included with (lp-include
...), but doesn't run when one runs the file itself. When the file is
run, this error appears: "bad syntax (multiple expressions after
identifier) in: (define hs (code:comment ..." The only place I can
find code:comment defined is in
"...Racket/collects/scribble/lp/lang/lang.rkt":
(provide code:comment)
(define-syntax (code:comment stx)
  (if (eq? (syntax-local-context) 'expression)
      (syntax (void))
      (syntax (define (f x) x))))

It looks like it was supposed to strip the comment when being run.
"...Racket/collects/scribble/comment-reader.rkt" does have

(define (do-comment port recur)
    (let loop ()
      (when (equal? #\; (peek-char port))
        (read-char port)
        (loop)))
    (when (equal? #\space (peek-char port))
      (read-char port))
    `(code:comment
      (unsyntax ...

So it seems like this is where code:comment is coming from, but for
some reason the code:comments rule from lang.rkt isn't seeing it.
