Esto no se bloquea en ColdFusion 11, pero sí se bloquea en ColdFusion 2016

SELECT  *
FROM    dbo.Roles WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE   Code IS NOT NULL
AND     Active = 1
AND     RoleID IN (SELECT RoleID FROM dbo.Emp WITH (NOLOCK)) -- It's ok to look at termed employees

Esto funciona bien en ambos

SELECT  *
FROM    dbo.Roles WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE   Code IS NOT NULL
AND     Active = 1
AND     RoleID IN (SELECT RoleID FROM dbo.Emp WITH (NOLOCK)) 

¿Hay una configuración para restaurar el comportamiento original?

ACTUALIZAR

Pensé que tenía un ejemplo mínimo del problema, pero no lo hice. Aquí está la consulta completa

    SELECT '<ul>' + STUFF (
        (
        SELECT  MIN(Role) AS "li/code", Code AS "li/span/b", 'Unsorted' AS "li/span/var"
        FROM    dbo.Roles WITH (NOLOCK)
        WHERE   Code IS NOT NULL
        AND     Active = 1
        AND     RoleID IN (SELECT RoleID FROM dbo.Emp WITH (NOLOCK)) -- It's ok to look at termed employees
        GROUP BY Code
        FOR XML PATH ('')
        ),
        1,0,''

    ) + '</ul>' AS xmlRole

Cuando enciendo la depuración de DB: obtengo:

spy(http-nio-8500-exec-5)(2016/02/17 10:21:13.807)>> OK

Tenga en cuenta que la cadena SQL está en una sola línea. Cuando comienza el comentario, no termina. Todo después del-- permanece como comentado.

La gestión de espacios en blanco está activada. Apagarlo no cambia el comportamiento. El SQL generado es el mismo
