Comment (by joedolson):

 I'm going to come back with an alternate proposal here, because I walked
 away but couldn't stop considering it. I think that the fundamental
 problem here may be that WordPress does not generally specify any
 structural elements of themes from core that aren't self contained (such
 as navigation lists). Adding a heading into any context breaks that normal
 behavior, and is clearly leading to differences of opinion that aren't
 solvable, because ultimately no structure imposed by WordPress core is
 necessarily going to be a good fit for a given theme.

 What if we remove the heading entirely, used aria-label to identify the
 nav element, and provided a filter by which developers could supply a
 heading if it was necessary for their use case.
