This is a really great writeup. Whenever I try to draw diagrams using software tools, I always run into stuff like this and am disappointed with the tool's ability to help me out.

I've actually taken up hand-drawing diagrams lately and it's worked well. I get a lot of comments at work - "haha wow nice art!" (sarcasm) followed by "actually this is really easy to follow". I feel like it's both faster to draw and a more accurate representation of my mental model when I draw by hand.

But hey, if the diagramming tools were smart like in this post, maybe I'd go back to the tools for awhile ;)
