that sounds as if I may have broken the quoting that's passed to/from
the history and/or evaluation (will take a look...)

I hadn't noticed that (probably because I expect it to show the name of 
the current buffer).  A quick look at the source seems to show that it's 
been setting it automatically for a while, since 2002 - am I misreading 
that (did 9.7 let you set the title?) - or is this a feature request?
