Yeah, I see what you mean now. And the use of "space" is particularly odd.

You're right. I was thinking of NSMenuItem itself, not the image.
If the accessibility implementation of NSMenuItem was using the built in
description for NSImage, it'd say "image" not "space", so I'm guessing this is
NSMenuItem's custom verbalization for the item state. I suspect there's not an
easy way to override that.

File a bug and at least get it fixed for Sonoma? I'll file one too, since this
actually impacts an upcoming update to my app too.
