Yes.

• go to a video
• pause the video
• change the playback speed to 1.5 for example
• go to the comment section
• click on "x responses" (it only works in "x responses", if you just go to the comment section it will be fine)
• back out
• unpause (and/or pause) the video and you will notice it's playing at 1.0x speed (go to the video settings and you will see the playback speed reset to 1.0x)

Ok I can reproduce now. Need to go into a comment thread for the issue to show.

This is an issue that is also reproduced on unpatched YouTube, so Google should fix it
