Perhaps you could revert the original commit, then apply the same diff again with an adjusted message? Would that strike a good balance?

Cheers,

I think I agree. The consequences would be notable, but not untenable.

I disagree that this should be done. When has this been done/requested before for a commit message that is already merged?
 
Formal proposal: Either request a new commit message from the original
author, or have someone rewrite it, and we go ahead and make the
change.
