This is a bug in the Carbon/Cocoa implementation of Accessibility. There
are possibly two bugs.
1) Carbon should add AXTitle to the list of attributes of a AXScrollBar, if
it is returning a value for AXTitle
2) Cocoa should possibly add AXTitles for its AXScrollBar.
I have opened the necessary bugs at Apple.
Thanks,

You can see this in the Finder and Internet Explorer, for example.

This would appear to be a bug in the AXUIElementCopyAttributeNames function.
