Is there a reason that this minor inconsistency has not been fixed? I clicked on the link above and muddled my way through to https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-MobileFrontend/pull/4/commits/162527e0526ae6e6dce309e743dd31f679e9aada but then I got a link telling me that I needed to install a command-line program on my Mac and do some SSH stuff, which is beyond what I am willing to try right now just to fix what is essentially a copy editing error. Maybe someone here can use my diff above to submit an actual patch.

I can't reproduce this. It seems to have been fixed by daa2370233f30cf6d5b28deab2ae42dc29ac5366, so I'll boldly close this.

Change #1184495 had a related patch set uploaded (by Shadabgdg; author: L10n-bot):
[mediawiki/skins/Vector@master] Vector: Replace CSS-generated parentheses with empty content for accessibility
I'm interested in working on this task. Plan: update the CSS to add alt='' to the msg-parentheses/msg-brackets generated content, following the linked Chrome implementation details. Note: This will only have an effect in Chrome as other browsers do not currently support alt text in CSS content.

It now works pretty widely, but this would probably need to be written as

Tagline space issue is a separate one and seems to be from the fact that the current version of the tagline is 120×11, while the new version of the tagline is 135×15, but the top margin for the tagline is hard-coded to be 5px no matter what height it is.
