This is intentional. No Org syntax is recognized in a comment anymore.
On the other hand, all targets (not radio targets) are invisible now.
Therefore, you can write:

  Some text<<invsible>> in a paragraph.

And "invisible" (note the double brackets) will not appear during
export.

"#+test <<<target>>>" has wrong syntax since the colons are mandatory:
"#+test: <<<target>>>". It will not be exported (as a keyword), but it
cannot hold radio targets (or targets) either.

FAQ is not up-to-date. Also, note that there is a confusion between
targets (double brackets) and radio targets (triple brackets). There is
no point in making radio targets invisible. There is also no need for
the (INVISIBLE) hack anymore.

Patches welcome wrt the FAQ.
