Why is this? I'm guessing that it was just overlooked when the naming of
menu bar items was changed not too long ago.

In general, the maintenance of the NSAccessibility.h file is focussed on the
needs of accessorizing Cocoa apps (as opposed to someone writing an assistive app).
E.g. you would not use kAXMenuBarItemRole when accessorizing a Cocoa app.

That being said, there's no reason not to strive for parity - I'm just explaining
why we don't notice the inconsistencies as quickly as you do.

If it is a bug, is it already known or shall I report it?

Go ahead and report it.

Report one for the two text attributes also - but they might just be cruft. I
don't think they're actually used anywhere.
