If you have a QueueTaskDispatcher which returns a CauseOfBlockage from canRun, that becomes BlockedItem.getCauseOfBlockage, which is displayed in the queue widget.

But if it returns a CauseOfBlockage from canTake (AFAICT the same for Node.canTake), JobOffer.canTake sees that it is non-null, throws out the actual object with all of its diagnostics, and you wind up with a BuildableItem with CauseOfBlockage.BecauseNodeIsBusy which tells you nothing and may be totally misleading.

By asking an implementation to return a @CheckForNull CauseOfBlockage rather than a simple boolean, the implication is that a non-null return value will be displayed to the user. Currently this is not the case.

To add insult to injury, Support Core does not report the result of canTake.
