Thanks Icey, I can confirm adding the "Consume Reports" permission to the "Browser" role does indeed get the comments working again with Power BI reports.  But it's not a great workaround because it should not be required for the Browser role.  Enabling that allows browser users to download pbix/rdl files or connect to them using the developer tools, which generally you do not want for a simple viewer role.
