A certain Neil Hodgson seems to have looked at this but I have no idea what he's saying:

A simpler example is:

# comment \
echo "not a comment"

which displays not a comment when run with zsh or bash.

There are separate elements in the zsh documentation for continuation and comments with no information on priority.

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Shell-Grammar.html#Quoting :

A character may be quoted (that is, made to stand for itself) by preceding it with a ‘\’. ‘\’ followed by a newline is ignored.

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Shell-Grammar.html#Comments :

a word beginning with the third character of the histchars parameter (‘#’ by default) causes that word and all the following characters up to a newline to be ignored.

function test2
{
# this is a comment\
is this a comment continued on the next line?
}

zsh treats the second line as code, but it highlights as a continuation of the comment.
