We'd like to put instructions there.

No, you can't change what gets displayed in the Purple/Green message bar. Note that it's not even present in Acrobat/Reader DC.

Is there a good work-around for providing instructions? Is there alt text that appears somewhere that we could edit?

If you don't want to add the instructional text to a page, there are a number of other options. You can include a non-printing button that when pressed will display a popup message. This can be a JavaScript alert dialog (e.g., app.alert("Instructional text goes here.", 3);), or with a read-only text field or button. Individual fields have a tooltip that you can use to provide instructions.
