You are right.

from gnome-libs/devel-docs/suggestions.txt:

 - Your menu hints should not have a trailing period.  They should be
   phrased like commands, e.g. "Open a new file".  Do NOT phrase them
   like a description, e.g. "Opens a new file".

I think the same rule applies to Comment[xx], because these all basically
are tooltips.
