Okay, I think I see the discrepancy. It's a nomenclature thing.
The Bio* refer to the additional stuff after the ID as the sequence 'description'. There is a subtle difference between that and a simple comment, though I have seen even NCBI use this as the 'junk drawer' for any additional seq information (such as the headers in the nr database).
