The number of lines are calculated with the normal line distance
and your extra space is not taken into account by the calculation.
Instead of changing the fontsize you can change the interlinespace
but for vertical distances you should use ex-values and not em-values.
Here is a variant which use the inbetween key and use the value
for the calculation of the lines:
\def\PageWithComment[#1]%
{\page
#1
\blank[2*line]
\scratchcounter\dimexpr(\pagegoal-\pagetotal-2\lineheight)/(\dimexpr\lineheight+2.2ex\relax)\relax
\thinrules[n=\number\scratchcounter,inbetween={\blank[2.2ex]}]
\page}
