You'll be performing an IXFR (or an AXFR depending on your setup) and you don't transfer the zone "file" verbatim.
Execute the following command, for example:
# dig axfr myzone.com @primary-server
You'll see what will be transferred during a full zone transfer.
This is normal behaviour. You don't administer zone files on slave DNS servers, so why would you need the comments? It'd just add unnecessary data to the transfer, which for nameservers authoritative for thousands of zones (with regular notifies) would be unacceptable.
Cheers,

GETZONE(1) getzone GETZONE(1)
NAME
getzone - get dns zone from server
DESCRIPTION
getzone transfers a user-specified dns zone from a zone server and displays it in csv1 format on the standard output. This program is here
for compatibility with older setups that use getzone to get zone files; newer setups may wish to consider using the fetchzone tool to
obtain csv2-compatible zone files.
USAGE
getzone zone_name zone_server_IP [query_class]
OPTIONS
zone_name
Name of the dns zone to be transferred.
zone_server_IP
IP address of dns server
query_class
Optional argument which can change the query class from 1 (the default) to 255. This may be needed for some versions of Bind.
EXAMPLES
To obtain the zone example.com from the server 192.168.9.8:
getzone example.com 192.168.9.8
To obtain the zone example.org from the server 10.9.8.78 using a query class of 255:
getzone example.com 10.9.8.78 255
