Sounds like a bug to me.
When you mean "comment", do you mean that the latex file contains
%% This is the code in a comment
%% with a \includegraphics{foobar}
rather than just a LyX-note that outputs nothing at all?
The long-term fix is to separate the generation of these figures from
the output of the Latex code (To use the current terminology,
two-phase export). Maybe the short-term fix is just to add an extra
'bool perform_conversion' to LatexRunParams?
Could you file a bug report?
