I presume you mean the doc of the custom-comment-tag face.
emacs -Q
M-x customize-variable abbrev-mode ; pick any variable or face

A "Comment:" tag is inserted, with custom-comment-tag face.
The associated entry field uses custom-comment face.
So bascially there are some missing apostrophes, ie
"Face used for variables' or faces' comment tags."
A better doc string might be
"Face used for the comment tag on variables or faces."
