with 
editcap -F pcapng -a 1:one -a 2:two -a 3:three -a 4:four dhcp.pcapng
dhcp_4_comments.pcapng

dhcp_4_comments.pcapng does not contain a comment on packet 1

I also tried this with a collection of files on a Debian system, and with a
script to add a packet comment to each packet in a file, with larger files,
typically from 1/3 to 1/2 of the packets do not have comments. I was able to
add the comments by adding them with one call to editcap per frame (tedious...)
