Steps to reproduce

In your template, have a tag followed by an interpolation that returns text, like this:

<template>
    <div class="foo">
        <h1>Message:</h1>
        {{ msg }}
    </div>
</template>

Then, add a comment between the h1 and the interpolation:

<template>
    <div class="foo">
        <h1>Message:</h1>
        <!-- A comment explaining the interpolation below -->
        {{ msg }}
    </div>
</template>

What is expected?

Adding the comment should not affect the output (other than the comment being added to the output in dev mode, perhaps)

What is actually happening?

Without the comment, a space is rendered between the tag and the interpolation (as expected). With the comment, that space is not rendered, which can cause layout issues. This only happens when the text is generated by an interpolation; if it's static text, the space is always there, regardless of whether there's a comment or not.
