The bossbar text covers narrator text if it stacks up to the top of the screen. The text is tinted like everything behind narrator text but still renders before it, Relates to MC-193511.
To replicate:
Go to Game Menu>Options>Accesibility Settings and turn on Narrator if it isn't already
Recommended (not required) turn off speaker
In Game Menu>Options>Music&Sounds... ensure Ambient/Environment is on (used in commands)
In order to consistently get enough sounds put the following commands in repeating command blocks that are on:
