Looks like changing the PlotLabel directly is not possible, presumably 
because the information is just in the options of the Graphics. But 
there are workarounds (for me for some reason the AspectRatio changes 
with the first version):

FullGraphics[Plot[{
    Annotation[Sin[x], "Sine", "Mouse"],
    Annotation[Cos[x], "Cosine", "Mouse"]
    },
   {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]},
   PlotStyle -> Thick,
   PlotLabel :> Dynamic[MouseAnnotation[]]
   ]]

or:

Grid[{{
    Style[
     Dynamic[MouseAnnotation[] /. Null -> "Empty Space"],
     FontFamily -> "Helvetica"
     ]}, {Plot[{
      Annotation[Sin[x], "Sine", "Mouse"],
      Annotation[Cos[x], "Cosine", "Mouse"]
      },
     {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]},
     PlotStyle -> Thick
     ]
    }},
  ItemSize -> {Automatic, {2, All}}
  ]
