I assume this problem appears across all macOS versions, but only macOS 26 has
a solution.
The VPAT testers who originally brought this up only had access to macOS 26
devices (as do I).
(Our current work-around is to use `new AccessibleRole("AXHeading") {}`, which
VoiceOver identifies correctly. That implies (?) we might be able to add an
`else` in this code and somehow return "AXHeading", but the last time I
proposed an "AX[Name]" NSString it was [strongly
discouraged](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/29686#issuecomment-3899448303).)
