I figured out what was wrong with mine. I’m only using ASCII characters, so the problem source is probably different, but perhaps this will give you a clue to solve it. The issue for me was this: I have a form that I include from another file in the blog page, but the form tags for that form (which appears in the page before the search/comments forms) were not closed. I guess they were interfering with each other. It works fine now.
