Technically it's of course possible. But it would require a *lot* of
searching and therefore would make the graph *extremely* slow. In fact
so slow that most users couldn't use it anymore.

In your case, it's not different. But there are cases where it can be
different. And there's no way to find out if it *really is not
different* as it is in your case.

Yes, the log message of that revision.
But the log message you're interested in is shown if you hover over the
target of the copy operation (i.e. the tag you created).

Not really. *Most* do, but not all.
And if you show the log for the tag, you will see in the revision where
the tag was created in the bottom pane of the log dialog a line like
/tags/mycreatedtag (copied from /trunk: rev 11)
So that information is used in the graph.
