In more overnight changes to the re-assignment dialog, I find that if the last re-assigment came with a comment, then that comment is copied into the dialog when I click ‘Edit assignments…’
Not knowing what the heck was going on with that, I left the text in the input when I submitted. Now my reassignment includes a wholly irrelevant comment that I cannot get rid of because “Post can’t be empty” 😶

> I’ve started making occasional assignment comments when I assign a topic to a team. Yesterday I noted that in a subsequent assignment to an individual, my comment was repeated. “Huh. Weird” … Then I noticed it again today so I did a test and realized that when you reassign, the comment box is pre-populated with the previous comment: For a result like this (if the assigner is in a hurry / not paying attention / …)

I suppose a temporary fix would be to include some hidden text in your post, like so:
```html
```
