As you point out, people don't read... it might be more useful to put a length limit check so that posting a long comment requires privileges. Maybe that could be done as simply as "if this is user's first bug, don't let him post more than ten lines".
It's not just a question of length, but of inappropriate content. The long inappropriate comments are more annoying, but the short ones ("I'm a newbie. How do I apply this patch?") don't belong in bug reports either.
