You can control what escape sequences tmux uses to set the title by changing the tsl and fsl terminfo entries (with tmux terminal-overrides option or a custom terminfo). By default it uses tsl=\e]0; which is the xterm sequence to change icon name and window title, I suspect you want to change that to tsl=\e]2;
