Why is it a problem?
When org-export-with-title is nil, ox-latex will not write
\maketitle. So, it won't matter whether you have \title{...} or not inside.

You indeed cannot override date/title commands now. This is not a
bug. Maybe missing feature.

Maybe. But such a change seems risky. I am not sure about possible
consequences of changing the order. It might break some exports for
users.
