Comment (by joedolson):
I've reported this upstream at
https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/72088.
I didn't address the focus trap in that report, because I think that's
really just a side-effect of other things that are wrong. The main issue
here is that if the submenu is going to default to open, there shouldn't
be a button with `aria-expanded` or any state manipulation.
There have been many requests to make submenus respect the open on click
setting, and I think that if that moves forward, the focus behavior should
be closely examined as part of that feature addition.
