Not possible right now, no.

Whatever revision-identifying numbers or strings appear in the output.

You were asked to file the bug for a different reason: you said there's
a difference in behavior here between emasc-25 and master, which would
be a problem. Was the version from one of the branches too old?
Another problematic thing is visible on your screenshot here:

Revisions from two consecutive days are still colored the same. At the
time, I thought it to be a bug, but it depends on how big is the range
of time between the oldest and the newest revisions in the buffer: after
all, the annotation palette is limited.
If the commits were made in N most recent days, one can to tweak the
precision (by customizing vc-annotate-display-mode), but you seem to
have figured it out already.
Glenn, don't you think it's a problem that we can't distinguish between
older commits made on consecutive days? I'd say it's an argument in
favor of adopting aHg's scheme, or at least adding it as an option.
