Research direction
Start by comparing the working netrc-comment-blank and problematic netrc-blank-comment files, then run netrc_foo_tester.py to reproduce the parser behavior. Review the linked PR context and patch-review status before deciding whether any work remains; done requires an agreed behavior and a corresponding regression test.
