I think this is a real bug in the software. I had someone else try it on their machine and the behavior is the same. Just make any sort of equation and point a comment to within the equation. When you delete the comment (I right clicked the comment and selected delete) everything goes crazy. It sort of comes back to normal if you save, exit and reopen the document, but one time that resulted in a comment in another equation converting itself into a blank undeletable bubble.

I admit I've never used the Equation Editor (though I've used Fields
extensively), so there may be some sort of weird interaction, but the
way to delete a Comment balloon is to select the balloon (just click
inside it; it darkens), and go to the place such things come from --
in Word2007 (and presumably 2010), it's on the Review tab, Comments
group, second icon from the left.

comments, but I don't want to distribute the document that way.
