Comment (by joedolson):

 So, I really wanted this to be sufficient to commit and close this ticket.

 However, just adding names to these buttons doesn't accomplish anything;
 the buttons aren't actually being used. If anything, it might make it
 worse, because it's adding the text to the names of the list items, but
 they aren't navigable (having `tabindex="1"`) and aren't actually used to
 open anything.

 The button in the side panel is used to trigger the menu, but it still has
 tabindex of -1, so it's still not navigable to screen readers. Therefore
 the `aria-label` is useless.

 Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be possible to partially fix
 this menu; it's going to have to be all or nothing.
