Comment on 1.4.14 Content on Hover or Focus

This is beneficial.

Its useful there is an exception for where visual presentation of the content is controlled by the user agent and is not modified by the author.

The wording is quite clear to be testable, however I am not sure if a tester would be able to determine whether a violation is caused by the user agent vs the author . It could lead to false positives. In practice however i think an experienced tester would be able to determine this, as its mainly the title attribute that would cause this.

Thank you for the thumbs up on this SC. Regarding your comment on testing, I think there is a learning curve to testing every new criterion and this one happens to involve a tiny bit of code interrogation. In most cases, simply seeing the content is not coming from the title attribute will do the trick, but rough familiarity with JavaScript events to show such content wouldn't hurt.
