I found the problem to be a missing code line (2.8.3).

Apparently, in comments.php (Dashboard -> Appearance -> Editor -> comments.php) there is the following check line:

<?php if ( !empty($comments_by_type['pings']) ) : ?>

Testing it, I found that the $comments_by_type variable is NOT SET, hence the IF check will fail and trackbacks and pingbacks won’t show.

To fix this, just add the following line BEFORE the line above:

<?php $comments_by_type = &separate_comments($comments); ?>

This simply sets the $comments_by_type variable with the necessary info for the loop to take on pings and trackbacks.

Basically it should look like this:

<?php $comments_by_type = &separate_comments($comments); ?>
<?php if ( !empty($comments_by_type['pings']) ) :  ?>

instead of

<?php if ( !empty($comments_by_type['pings']) ) : ?>

Let me know if this has helped you guys out with your versions.
