Comment(by raimue@…):

 Unfortunately there is no reliable way to get the title in all terminals
 in order to restore it later. xterm seems to have special control
 characters for this, but those have not been implemented in Terminal.app.
 A solution would be to always reset to "" or "Terminal" (the default
 string in Terminal.app). A user-defined PROMPT_COMMAND could override this
 as well.
