Text-attributed graphs (TAGs) are an important graph data form that combine relational structure with rich node text. However, real-world TAGs are often imperfect, with quality issues arising from text, structure, and labels, and typically manifesting as sparsity, noise, and imbalance. These dimensions define nine representative degradation scenarios that can substantially affect TAG learning. Although prior studies have explored specific mitigation strategies, existing evidence remains fragmented across degradation types, datasets, tasks, and model families, leaving TAG robustness insufficiently understood. To address this gap, we present OpenRTAG, a robustness benchmark for text-attributed graph learning. OpenRTAG organizes TAG quality issues into a unified 3 * 3 taxonomy and supports standardized evaluation across nine TAG datasets and three downstream tasks. It systematically evaluates scenario validity and model sensitivity, compares traditional GNNs, LLM-GNNs, and a representative GFM, investigates the effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness of scenario-matched baselines, and further examines model behavior under composite degradation scenarios. OpenRTAG provides a standardized testbed for understanding robustness in TAG learning under realistic low-quality settings.

Multimodal federated graph learning enables clients to collaboratively train graph models over structural, textual, and visual signals without sharing private local data. However, the presence of heterogeneous multimodal content also makes unlearning requests more frequent and fine-grained: users may delete accounts or interactions, remove a particular image or text while retaining the associated entity, or revoke the learned correspondence between retained modalities or graph attributes. Existing federated graph unlearning mainly handles entity/relation or client removal and cannot directly satisfy these multimodal requests. They introduce three challenges: removing only the requested information without damaging retained content, preventing the target from being recovered through remaining modalities or graph neighborhoods, and stopping related traces on other clients from re-entering the global model after aggregation. To address them, we propose \textsc{\textbf{MMFGU}}, a multimodal federated graph unlearning framework built around target-specific representation decoupling. \textsc{MMFGU} maps heterogeneous requests into unified target carriers, decouples requested representations while anchoring retained semantics, exposes and repairs propagated residuals with lightweight probes, and selectively purges affected clients through compact prototype and response signals. Experiments show that \textsc{MMFGU} effectively removes requested information, preserves retained graph utility, and achieves a $\boldsymbol{41.5\times}$ speedup over full retraining.
