Sure I'm looked at the Valadoc (which uses libvala already) and there is AST parser inside vala, which is libvala :) AST doesn't include comments, they are removed as useless for compilation i guess. Also I'm looked into the sources of Scanner class itself and found no way to get all comments without hacks. Sadly i can't derive from Scanner and implement that functionality, there is no overridable virtual methods.
