Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Windows Terminal with Narrator using the listed shortcuts for the New Tab Dropdown and Set tab color pop-ups, then compare behavior with NVDA or JAWS. Done means the screen reader announces each pop-up's name when focus first enters it, including the expected names described in the issue.
