VA has this nice feature to underline (with a squiggly red color) the code where it believes there is an error. This is a very useful feature.

The problem is when I hover the mouse it doesn't display a reason for that error (do I have to enable this somehow? I'm using build 1727)

Since Visual Studio 2010 has also implemented "Squiggle" support with tooltips which display the reason of the failure (http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2009/06/01/c-gets-squiggles.aspx) it would be very nice if VA would do the same.

Currently VA underlining is quite simple, it is either an invalid symbol - something our parser does not understand, or it is a spelling error in a comment / literal string.

Still it makes a lot of sense to explain this to the user, to make things clearer, thank you for the idea, I have put in a feature request for this:
