Update: semi-colon is indeed the correct character for adding comments to the config file... TextWrangler also recognises it. Comments save correctly.

However, after the device restarts, all comments disappear (and new feature settings that were added at the same time as the comments are still present).

Oh well.

EDIT: I just noticed the NightMode mod also uses ini file type for the configuration file, and it is full of comments, commented out with the # character. So I used # in the Kobo eReader.config file and success!

Interesting: if I leave the ; before the #, everything after and including the ; gets deleted...
