Not finding any way to edit so I’ll add:

Title could be instead: ‘Command “Toggle checkbox" fails to recognize checkboxes inside callouts titles’

Sorry, you are relying on an unsupported feature
We don’t support checkboxes in callout titles.
I don’t consider this a bug.

You can open a FR and ask for supporting this.
