Facebook bug creates anonymous comments.

When using Facebook tonight I noticed what appears to be another ‘Facebook Feature’ in the form of anonymous comments.  It appears that certain people, when commenting, have no avatars or names against the comments.  But this only appears to affect the normal Facebook site.  If you browse to http://touch.facebook.com you’ll see that the avatars and names exist next to the comments.

Take the example below, from the full Facebook site, of a Mashable post.  You can see, clearly, the names and avatars are missing.

The example below is from the Facebook ‘touch’ interface (http://touch.facebook.com) for the same Mashable post and you can see the names and avatars of the commenters.

Although this doesn’t appear to be a security issue it is a little inconvenient.
