I wouldn't change anything. This whole thread is, as you say, a documentation issue.
Which brings me to my next question:
There does not seem to be an FAQ on the Monotone Wiki. Would you be averse if I started one and copied the contents of the existing FAQ in there? Or is there a good reason that the FAQ is not part of the Wiki?

Eek. This tells me we need better documentation :-).
I almost wonder if we should rename "update" to "rebase" or something?
"Moving forward" just happens to be one of its more common use cases;
the basic operation is "move to X", and X defaults to "current head"
(roughly).
Revert, on the other hand, is a way of modifying the files in the
current workspace, and is entirely orthogonal to update...
