Comment:

 Thanks for looking into this.

 #24766 and related tickets have removed most `title` attributes from the
 admin, so I cannot recommend using any of them on the `a` element.

 For [53414], the column header had hidden text for screen readers, and
 moving the `title` attribute to the icon with `aria-hidden` avoided
 speaking the same text twice. In the admin menu, `.wp-menu-image` already
 has `aria-hidden`, which could make a `title` attribute on that element
 acceptable. It would need to strip all tags and only apply when the menu
 does not have a submenu. However, the tooltip could still obstruct the
 link on larger screens when the menu is not folded.

 I tried a CSS approach in [attachment:"46307.diff"] and needed to define
 the same rules for `auto-fold` and `folded` at different screen widths.
 Also, the High Contrast mode border in that patch is only appropriate if
 #61616 adds a similar 1-pixel transparent border on submenus.
