The problem is the fact that although Trac allows people to use its
wiki syntax when commenting on a ticket, Launchpad doesn't get the
html-ified version of those comments. Instead, it gets the raw wiki
marked-up version and doesn't know what to do with it.

The options are as follows:

 * Launchpad could try to convert the comments to HTML when it imports them.
 * Launchpad could strip out the wiki markup when it imports the comments
 * The Trac LP plugin could be updated to return the HTML version of
the comments rather than the raw version.
