Another data point: in a few places across the Web Inspector UI, we use a popover which is exactly a callout with an arrow, having a similar appearance, so this concept is familiar to our users.

In addition to the point (c) from Pavel, some people (especially when the info box was just introduced) claimed that they were unable to see the [border of an] adjoining element above/below the selected one.
