When you use the notification system to go to a post ("X friend commented on your post"), you are taken to a page with just that post, not your entire wall. You can also get there if you receive an email notification and click on see the message, but, how can you get that URL for any given post, without the notification/email?

I think your best bet would be to report the bug on this page. Probably use the third option from the bottom called "I've set the privacy of some of my content to "Everyone", but it's not visible to everyone." If you don't have access to the setting and you know moving users out of the list and into a new one works, then that might be your best options rather than waiting.
You might be able to retrieve it by using the API tools. You first need to get your facebook username.
You can set your user name or view it if you have already set it by going to http://www.facebook.com/username/
Note: That this is not the user name you use to log in to Facebook.
You can now use the Graph API you can then retrieve your User Id.
Browse to https://graph.facebook.com/%YOURUSERNAME% so for instance mine would be https://graph.facebook.com/boconnor
This will display your user information along with your user id.
Copy the the User Id - without the quotes.
- Now browse to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/events.get
- Paste your user id in to the uid box and click Call Method
- This will return events that you are linked to.
- Copy the relevent Event EID and browse to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/stream.get
- Enter the EID in to the Source_ids box and click Call Method
- This will return the stream for that event.
I haven't quite worked out a better way of getting all the posts but you can easily copy the details out in to Notepad etc. You can then search through these results for a search term that you used in your comment.
If I can find a better way to get your post on it's own I will post another answer.
Hope this helps

Hover over the timestamp for the post. It is a link very similar to the way it works on Twitter.
