Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Excel to a blank workbook.
2. On any cell, open the context menu.
3. Select "New comment".
4. Type a comment, tab to "Post" button and press ENTER.
5. The comment is still visible, press ESCAPE to close.
6. Arrow away and back to the cell with the comment.

Actual behavior:

NVDA does not report the comment.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should report "Has comment".

When a "Note" is entered with shift+F2 (which used to be called comments, see #9193), NVDA reports "Has comment", but not when (what is now) a comment is present.
