> Fact is that, according to the accessible name calculation native HTML labeling comes before title (in this case I guess it would be the <title> element inside the frame).

For the purposes of the iFrame -- it is my understanding the title element of the content document is not taken into account.

According to the HTML Accessibility API Mappings 1.0
https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam-1.0/

5.13.1 iframe Element Accessible Name Computation

If the element has an aria-label or an aria-labelledby attribute the accessible name is to be calculated using the algorithm defined in Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1.
Otherwise use the title attribute
If none of the above yield a usable text string there is no accessible name
NOTE
The document referenced by the src of the iframe element gets its name from that document's title element, like any other document. If there is no title provided, there is no accessible name.
