I just added a duplicate close vote + duplicate question to this question on Stack Overflow:

The vote was recorded:

close (1)

But the question did NOT receive an auto-comment:

Does this answer your question? [question]
-- or --
Possible duplicate of [question]

The duplicate-target was also not listed in the list of Linked Questions.

Why wasn't the comment posted or the dupe-target linked?

I refreshed the page immediately after voting as duplicate and never saw a comment.

That is odd. The comment was never posted there. Your close vote was recorded, however. I don’t know why the auto-comment was not generated. – Cody Gray Mar 9 '20 at 20:29

I’m pretty sure we were looking at this and it does get posted but if the OP says it’s not a duplicate, the comment is deleted... and it’s apparently deleted through the wrong route so there’s no indication that the comment ever existed, even to mods. At minimum, we need to change how the comment is deleted. – Catija♦ Mar 10 '20 at 0:03

@Catija I refreshed the page immediately and the comment was definitely never posted. Unless the OP caught it in ~1 second after my post or something crazy like that. – pkamb Mar 10 '20 at 0:24
