Actually, unknown values are supposed to be treated as "false", according
to https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#aria-haspopup

User agents *MUST* treat any value of aria-haspopup that is not included in

Both firefox and chrome, with the latest NVDA, say 'submenu' instead of
'dialog'. Internet Explorer doesn't say anything other than "link". JAWS
works fine, as you mentioned.

I looked at the NVDA bug list and I don't see anything regarding
aria-haspopup values. You may want to file a bug for them.
