This is reproducible with "emacs -Q" on both 25 and 24.5.2.  You need to
not press "TAB", but "M-x indent-sexp" from the specified point
position.

`parse-partial-sexp' will detect comment on line 2 only when called in a
sequence that `indent-sexp' calls it, i.e. with the previous pps data
passed to the second pps call.
