Both do it right.

oggenc's -c switch doesn't mean COMMENT=, but comment in general. You
can set any comment with it, e.g. -c "ARTIST=Fantomas" (equals -a
Fantomas) or -c "ASDF=This is gibberish". oggenc obviously doesn't check
whether the comments it gets actually follow the specs (comment name
(before the '=') isn't optional, same goes for the '=' itself, and
whitespaces and other characters than _ and - are not allowed for the
comment's name, etc), which is why it *can* write faulty comments - you
could/should file a bug because of that if you wish it fixed.

Vorbiscomment checks whether the comments follow the rules (afaik),
which is why it isn't capable of doing things wrong.

Btw, PP's Winamp plugin does it right, too.
