That makes perfect sense to me. Have you found it in the help?

Yes, I noticed it when I discovered the "%a" expansion in the status
line. I've found some ways of putting there the number of buffers, but I
think it is overlay complex and doesn't worth the pain.

Oh, that I knew. In fact I was using ":bw!" when doing the experiment.
What I was doing, BTW, is processing a huge number of text files. I
loaded all of them in Vim and mapped "<delete>" to a combination that
deleted the on-disk file and wiped out the buffer. That way I could read
and delete the files without having to go back and forth between a
terminal and Vim. I then noticed the problem with the title string.
Thanks for the info!
