This message is the one included with the patch by Ned Daily. Because a message was included (not normal), hg import committed the patch immediately, without giving me a chance to edit the patch or message. As far as I know, there is no way I could have edited the message after the commit. If there was, let me know. hg commit has an "--amend" option that allows you to change the last (un-pushed) commit. Even if there aren't actually any changes to be committed, it will pop up a text editor with the commit message of the last commit already filled in, allowing you to change the message. Any time you hg commit --amend, it saves the original commit locally as a bundle in the .hg dir, so you can restore it if need be. I haven't tested it, but from a quick look at TortoiseHg Workbench's Commit screen, it looks like --amend can be done from the down arrow on the commit button, "Amend current revision".

Thank you. I tried that in a local test repository, changed the message, even added an untracked file, hit Amend, and it worked. Editing a file, hitting refresh, and then Amend also worked. The one thing I tried but could not do was to directly change status 'A' back to '?'.
