Yes, but it is only added by the --export-ssh-key command and has a
fixed form. Instead, for my keys, which by the way are not part of an
OpenPGP certificate and therefore can't be used with --export-ssh-key,
they are stored with the private key. The comment got there because they
were originally OpenSSH keys with that comment, and the comment got
retained on import into the agent. I could have put any comment
whatsoever in it and it would have been stored by the agent and shown on
any invocation of ssh-add -{l,L}.

HTH,
