Comment (by Chaton666):

 Finally, it is not possible to add an aria-label attribute to the menu
 item as I suggested (the ''add_node'' function does not allow this).
 However, it is possible and better to keep the text for screen readers
 already present, remove the title attribute from the link, and add the
 explicative sentence to the total.

 Here is a .diff file attached, of a patch proposal. There is no visible
 difference in the dashboard, the change is in the HTML output.
 Before :

 {{{
 <li id="wp-admin-bar-updates">
         <a class="ab-item" href="http://example.com/wp-admin/update-
 core.php" title="1 Plugin Update, Translation Updates">
                 <span class="ab-icon"></span>
                 <span class="ab-label">2</span>
                 <span class="screen-reader-text">1 Plugin Update,
 Translation Updates</span>
         </a>
 </li>
 }}}


 After:
 {{{
 <li id="wp-admin-bar-updates">
         <a class="ab-item" href="http://example.com/wp-admin/update-
 core.php">
                 <span class="ab-icon"></span>
                 <span class="ab-label">2 <span class="screen-reader-text">
 updates: 1 Plugin Update, Translation Updates </span></span>
         </a>
 </li>
 }}}
