This seems to be caused specifically by this comment, but copy and pasting it into a new script does not create a script that breaks studio.

Exporting rbxlx and opening the xml though reveals these symbols correctly, so the script editor must be mishandling these. Pasting these comments into a new script does not break either, and they display correctly.

Loading the rbxlx and opening the script results in Studio freezing immediately, which is worse than before.
