I don't understand what's going on.  I added "-th-trace" to my "fossil ui" on a test repo, and reproduced the problem.  Here is the output of the TH trace on submittion:
<nowiki><pre>
if {![info exists username]} {set username $login} if {[info exists submit]} { if {[info exists cmappnd]} { if {[string length $cmappnd]>0} { set ctxt "\n\n
[htmlize $login]" if {$username ne $login} { set ctxt "$ctxt claiming to be [htmlize $username]" } set ctxt "$ctxt added on [date]:
\n$cmappnd" append_field comment $ctxt } } submit_ticket }
