There's a potential workaround for this that I've been experimenting with. I added a comment to the diagram, and in the Properties panel, entered the Body of the comment. This doesn't appear in the diagram, but can be extracted by ArgoPrint for documentation. I was looking for some way to distinguish these types of diagram descriptions from ordinary comments, and the only way I found to do this is to create a "Diagram Description" stereotype. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off stereotype visualization for model elements. Which means that my small, discrete little hack, looks big and ugly on the diagram.
Is there some other workaround for this that I'm not aware of?
