Strange.
Are you sure you used the right syntax?
Something like

\paper {
  after-title-space = #0
}

\score {
 \new Staff { c'4 }
 \header {
   piece = "Piece 1"
 }
}

\score {
 \new Staff { c'4 }
 \header {
   piece = "Piece 2"
 }
}

should work on 2.12.3.

You could also use  \bookpart , see NR 3.1.2 Multiple scores in a book
