Have you created a minimal reproduction repository?

No reproduction, but I have linked to a public repo where it occurs

I think this is because we also have code that can "pin" a GitHub action to a full length commit SHA. I suspect this code removes any existing comments to "prepare" for commit SHA pinning later on.

Renovate uses a comment to tell you what "version tag" it's using for the full length commit hash. So you have a human readable version instead of just commit hash gibberish.
