I can tell you from personal experiance, that I switched a web app of mine from using history.pushState directly to History.js and was very surprised to see the title being respected (and thus the title of my app being reset to default).  I previously had used "" for the title parameter.  Mozilla's docs even recommend using "":
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history#The_pushState().C2.A0method
But doing so with Hisotry.js causes clearing of the title (where in Moz/WebKit it's ignored).

I guess what I'm saying is that we are likely stuck ignoring it (or at least ignoring "") in the future, as I'm sure much larger web apps than mine, may be depending on ignoring the title attribute now. :)

(The fact that History.js doesn't ignore "" for backwards compat with mozilla's docs seems like a bug here too.)
