Occasionally I will audit a website for accessibility that displays the mobile hamburger menu in the same screen width with the regular desktop menu. This is obviously a terrible blunder in terms of UX, and I could imagine it would greatly inconvenience disabled users (as any other redundancy).

But my question - is that a violation of any WCAG success criterion?

I agree that having more than one of the same nav menu is a terrible practice, it's not necessarily a WCAG failure. There are some circumstances that could cause it to be:

  1. If both menus share the same ID, then it will be a violation of SC 4.1.1.
  2. If there's any difference between the content or ordering of the two menus, then it will be a violation of SC 3.2.4.
  3. If it is not possible to bypass both navigation menus, then it will be a violation of SC 2.4.1.
