AutoCAD considers {} as control characters. You will need to escape them using "\" -- e.g.:
 
\{comment\}

I played around with this yesterday too and didn't find anything that worked.  The ASCII codes for the brackets are 123 and 125.  They aren't supported in all font sets, and for a while I thought that might be the reason they weren't showing up.  I also checked to see if they were a special character in LISP or something.  Doesn't appear they are.  In the end it seemed to me AutoCAD is simply ignoring them.
