Comment:

 Sorry about not getting to this earlier.

 I think Varnish behaves sensibly in this case, it sees the beginning of a
 comment, and ignores everything up to the end of a comment.

 The definition of a comment in XML is
 {{{
 Comment ::= '<!--' ((Char - '-') | ('-' (Char - '-')))* '-->'
 }}}
 (See: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-comments)

 Which specifically does not allow for a minus right before the "end of
 comment" sequence, (which is what causes the trouble in the example you
 show) so the comment never ends and Varnish does not process ESI inside
 comments.
