Solved my own problem. The issue was that the comment_ID was never getting set properly. I was not able to track down where this value was getting pulled from, but I modified the template to include the proper id (comment_post_ID) within the hidden input tag. Doing so then populated the value of the post and therefore associated my comment submit with an actual post.

I did not modify comments.php at all. This is just a plain WordPress installation using the tentwenty theme. I have not disabled plugins, but experience the same behavior even on a native install. Is it supposed to be as easy as just including the comments_template even if the template is custom?
