I think there needs to be a way to, when a document has multiple style
elements which have different titles, specify which of the stylesheets are
alternate stylesheets and which one is the default stylesheet.

There is.  The ones that have "alternate" in the 'rel' attribute are the alternate stylesheets.

That's not entirely accurate, but this should be specified in CSSOM.

I read the bug again and see that it's talking about <style> elements, not <link>.

For that you can do:

<meta http-equiv=default-style content=bar>
<style title=foo></style><!-- alternative -->
<style title=bar></style><!-- preferred -->
