Planet Caravan Style Bug?

I know it might be waaay too early to start knocking on Planet Caravan since the code roll out hasn't been publicly announced yet, but I thought I'd nip this problem quickly so other users can enjoy this beautiful theme without that *one* problem that irks them.

There's a styling bug when it comes to turning off comments for a journal entry.

When comments are enabled in any way we get this nice entry management link bar at the bottom of every entry on the single/permalink page:

But when I disable comments for an entry, I get this:

The link bar styling is gone because it seems the management links just tag along with the styling of the interaction links. I've tried styling them on their own but they ride off the link bar onto their own disheveled bar.

Can this be fixed with CSS? Or a theme layer until this is fixed in the source code?

BTW, I am using Firefox 20.0.1...

Thank you for your time.

Nice! I'd love to see something like this implemented, especially since on the surface it's the same sort of concept as moving the mood/listening/location metadata around. Otoh, no idea about the back end.

I know core2 a little bit and I can't think of any problems it would cause, but Fu is The Expert (being the person who wrote it and all), so I'll defer to her judgment. But it'd certainly give designers some more flexibility without having to write overrides

Well, it can absolutely be done, because I just bashed out a terribly messy proof of concept based on the way the metadata gets flopped around. Whether the whole notion is something that'd be feasible on a full, deployment level scale though...that's one for people who aren't epic code-manglers like me to say. XD

Looking forward to hearing what Fu tells you!

I think I have a pretty good idea of implementation, but I will let you know!
