How is it that they're so meticulous about reading the suspect their rights (so that they understand their rights) but not what they are being arrested for?

Actually, that is a bit of a Hollywood-ification of the truth. The rights are usually read before interrogation and not upon arrest, as they are typically for getting information from a suspect without a lawyer present.
