Description
Perhaps an over-extension of the intended functionality of TracLinks, but I thought I would report it just in case it is a true defect in the intended design.
One can link to a section heading in a description: comment:description#anchor.
However, it doesn't seem to work to link to a section heading in the description field of another ticket: comment:description#anchor:ticket:num.
For example, see:
The resulting error when selecting the TracLink in (1) is:

Seems I have a knack for finding problems and misinterpreting the actual defect ;)

Those links are indeed defective, but the intent was never to allow to specify linking to an anchor within a comment, as the comment: links are simply shorthands to link to the comment anchor itself.
i.e.
comment:1⇔[#comment:1](well, equivalent for the target, the link title is more up to the point for the comment: syntax)
Back to the original point: the examples you mentioned in those test tickets (
comment:description#Section1andcomment:description#Section2:ticket:52) should actually not be rendered as links (or amissinglink with appropriate explanation in the link title).
