Summarizing here:

• iconDescription with TableToolbarMenu displays two tooltips at once (title-style and Carbon Tooltip-style)...I have to add title="" in order to prevent the duplicate hover message
• if I omit iconDescription from TableToolbarMenu completely, then it generates its own Tooltip-style hover message that says "Settings", which is incorrect/unwanted for my use case
• iconDescription doesn't show any tooltips for TableBatchAction or Button
• I have to use title with TableBatchAction; Tooltip doesn't work with it even though it's an interactive component

Not sure what the intended behaviors in each case are, so not really sure which are bugs and which are intended. Some consistency might be nice, though.
