I know the feeling :)

That's ok. The revision graph only shows entries if the copyfrom url
matches. Otherwise the graph would get *really* crowded: imagine someone
renaming a subfolder of trunk with thousands of files and folders in it:
the graph would show a node for *every* item of that renamed subfolder.

Yes, correct. To see the graph for subproject, you have to start the
graph on the subproject, not trunk.

correct.

That's correct behavior. The graph shows all copies of a specific
path/url through time. If you show the graph for
branches/subrefactoring, it will show you all copies for that url. Now,
if you go back in time for that url, you discover that it was created
sometime from e.g. /trunk/subproject. That means from that revision on
backwards, the url was 'named' differently. The graph then uses that
renamed url to analyze further (even forward in time).
