Currently, when a post is deleted, the comments get deleted as well, i.e. they are not listed on the Overview page for the author. I think this shouldn’t work this way, the author shouldn’t have the power to erase the content contributed by other people.
Is that true? I don’t know about any recently deleted posts, so I can’t check new behavior, but here is an old deleted post. Yvain’s comment is visible on his overview.
Probably applies to new posts (new deletion actions) only. It happened with my comment in a recently deleted post (a draft to this one); I can’t find links to any entity related to that draft now. The old system was confusing in that people could continue a discussion even after the post was deleted, and its text was still accessible if you knew the link, but not author’s name. The new behavior is possibly a result of an attempt to deal with that issue.
