I've now tested it and it is as I thought: the comment character has to
be in column 1. The reason is org-agenda-skip:

,----
| (defun org-agenda-skip ()
|   "Throw to `:skip' in places that should be skipped.
| Also moves point to the end of the skipped region, so that search can
| continue from there."
|   (let ((p (point-at-bol)) to)
|     (when (org-in-src-block-p t) (throw :skip t))
|     (and org-agenda-skip-archived-trees (not org-agenda-archives-mode)
| 	 (get-text-property p :org-archived)
| 	 (org-end-of-subtree t)
| 	 (throw :skip t))
|     (and org-agenda-skip-comment-trees
| 	 (get-text-property p :org-comment)
| 	 (org-end-of-subtree t)
| 	 (throw :skip t))
|     (if (equal (char-after p) ?#) (throw :skip t))
|     (when (setq to (or (org-agenda-skip-eval org-agenda-skip-function-global)
| 		       (org-agenda-skip-eval org-agenda-skip-function)))
|       (goto-char to)
|       (throw :skip t))))
`----

It sets p to the point at the beginning of the line and then
checks if the character after it is '#'. Only then does it skip
the entry.
