I can't see anything about it in the core docs but is it possible to
send some arbitary text with a roster subscription request?
Yes.
http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc6121.html#presence-syntax-children-status says:
###
The <status/> child MAY also be sent in a subscription-related presence
stanza (i.e., type "subscribe", "subscribed", "unsubscribe", or
"unsubscribed") to provide a description of the action. An interactive
client MAY present this <status/> information to a human user (see
Section 11).
<presence from='[email protected]'
id='uc51xs63'
to='[email protected]'
type='subscribe'>
<status>Hi, Juliet told me to add you to my buddy list.</status>
</presence>
