I have encountered that problem, too. But the length of the comment is not involved. I have a script that writes a copy of a file (.emlx) and comments the file with the From or To address of the file. These are short comments limited to three addresses. Rarely, a very few times per 1000 messages, a file will not have a comment. I can fix this by reading the comment from meta-data and writing to Spotlight comment.
I have been watching this problem for the past few years in (Snow) Leopard. I haven't found the cause of the problem, yet.
