What do you mean "should be perfectly fine"? By what definition?
AFAIK there's no universal rule that says that nested comments must not
be supported by any language.
By the definition of the POV-Ray SDL, that code is bad because it lacks
a closing comment mark (two comments are opened but only one closed).
This is the corrected version:
/* comment /* comment continued */ */

What do you mean "nested comments aren't allowed"? Of course they are
allowed. And they work pretty fine.
The great thing about nested comments being supported is that if you
have a piece of code with lots of /*...*/ comments and then you want to
comment out the entire piece of code, it works just fine. For example in C
you just can't do it. (Well, in C you can do #if(0) ... #endif, but don't
expect any editor to color that block as a comment.)
The fact that the Codemax editor does not support coloring of nested
comments is unfortunate, but that doesn't make them unallowed. Coloring
means nothing to POV-Ray.
