Thanks Steve!
I did notice that this only applies to the prototype at the "top" of the /copy member. The prototypes below are fine.
Interestingly, if I add a line of "real code" above the first prototype (see below), then the comments appear on hover.

Hi Greg,
We confirmed that the prototype is missing the hover text when in a /copy file. And it should NOT be. Fields in a /copy file DO include comments.
I've added an internal defect for this, but if you want to contact IBM support to add an APAR, please fee free to do so.
Thanks!

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Hover to see prototype comments
External: Pause and review the sender's email address, any URLs before clicking links, opening attachments, or following requests. When in doubt, contact the Service Desk.
When hovering over a service program procedure, I expect to see the comments that immediately precede the prototype in the /copy source. I have a situation where the hover is simply showing the PI parameters - none of the comments that I have in the /copy prototype.
Its very weird...
/copy prototype looks something like this
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// Eml_Stmf: Email an IFS streamfile
//
// pcom# = (input) From Company and/or Cust Type
// psubject = (input) Subject Line Text
// pstmf = (input) Streamfile name(s) (wildcards allowed)
// ptoaddr = (input) TO email address or Mailtool Dist List (*name)
// pccaddr = (input/omit) CC email address
// pmessage = (input/omit) Message Body (Text, *ATT or *MULTI)
// pbdyct = (input/omit) Body Content ('text/html' default if omitted)
//
// Returns 0 on success, -1 if email not sent
//
// Requirements:
// 1. Com# must be setup in 7065
// 2. IFS file must exist
//
// Notes:
// Attachments: Up to 50 attachments may be specified.
// If the value *ATT was specified for the message body, the first
// attachment listed here will be used as the message body. All
// subsequent attachments will be treated as normal attachments.
// If the value *MULTI was specified for the message body, the first
// attachment listed here will be used as the TEXT message body. The
// 2nd attachment will be used as the HTML body. All subsequent
// attachments will be treated as normal attachments.
// Wildcards may be used as attachment file names in the form of
// *filename, filename* or file*name. This will cause all matches in the
// specified directory to be emailed as attachments.
// Examples of specifying wildcards:
// /myfiles/*.pdf /myfiles/invoice*.pdf /myfiles/invoice* /myfiles/*
