I found some new information. I went through my .Xdefaults settings
for xterm to see if any of those were relevant.
For some reason, I had left AllowSendEvents: true in my .Xdefaults (I
was experimenting with drag + drop from emacs and firefox into xterm,
which never really worked, and I was using some hackish window manager
functions that pasted text into my terminal, but I don't use those any
more either.)
I know this is a security risk, so I disabled it and as a side effect,
got settable XTerm titles back!
When I enable sending events via the ctrl + leftclick menu, the
ability to set titles disappears, and re-appears, when I switch it
off.
So as far as I can see, the manual doesn't mention that
allowSendEvents and allowTitleOps are in some way related, so this
behaviour is at least undocumented, iff there's a good reason why
those two should not be enabled together. This would mean it's an
omission in the documentation.
If there isn't such a good reason, I'd say it's a minor functionality
bug.
