I think the issue is not just comment-region.
How about providing a "region prefix" command so you can do

        C-SPC ...move about... \[region-prefix] M-;

where `region-prefix' basically activates the mark (if needed),
turns on transient-mark-mode and turns it back off right after the next
command ?
