Apparently some components used to have troubles with "ridiculously long

 Looks like an oversight of the original patch:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit?id=616d778f6b04 - though I doubt
the corner case where the title is slightly under the arbitrary limit and
then exceeds it after the hostname info has been appended matters much in
practice ...

Also I wonder why the remote info is not appended if no title was

Likely just another oversight, but you'd have to ask Danielle for a
conclusive answer.
