That would be adding redundant info.

I think this is close to right. How about the new name from subtree rule 
becomes this: 
Don't walk into subtrees for roles that doesn't have "Accessible Name: 
subtree". IOW we wouldn't walk into a grid or menu if it was inside the 
tree item either.

To me this would be cleaner than having a special rule just for one role 
(group).
