I read somewhere that the reason it has the small headtube is that it's lugged and the available lugs are limited.

I don't really care about lugs, but if you like them then I guess it's just the price you pay.
There are 2 lugs, top and bottom, the head tube is brazed into the lugs. The lugs don’t dictate head tube length in any way.
They do if you're keeping the seat tube a set height. For a given seat tube height, taller headtube = lesser angle top lug needed. ie a different lug
I dunno, I am not a frame designer, but that's what the frame designer says.
