What does the macro look like?  In xterm I've not seen any particular
issue with the xterm-title setting.

But other things (than vile and xterm) can interfere with it - for 
instance a quick check shows me that screen is filtering out the 
title-string controls (a problem that comes and goes according to the 
screen bug-reports ;-).
