I found this plugin that helps in this manner. It’s not compatible with my current theme but has worked on a couple others. May be worth trying http://buddydev.com/plugins/facebook-like-user-activity-stream-for-buddypress/

I just downloaded the 1.8 beta and it seems like this issue may be resolved. Admittedly it is still in beta and not intended for public sites yet but it does appear an update is on its way.

Blog comments showed up in my user activity stream at least and I was able to comment back from that stream to the blog.

BuddyPress 1.8-beta1 is now available
