Interesting. That suggests that vim thinks the window title can't
be restored, which further suggests that your vim was built without
the X11 feature, which you confirmed below.

It's not. You can set it with the command:

:set title

but I don't know that that will help since your vim was build
without the X11 feature. That feature is in the normal build (see
":help :version"), so if your vim does not have it, it's probably
a tiny version, which doesn't have many features.

When you execute ":version", one of the first few lines, the one
immediately above the list of features, will show the type of build,
e.g.,

Tiny version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

or

Normal version with GTK3 GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

My guess is that yours is the tiny version.

Oh! I often forget that some distributions have a vim package built
without support for X. Why one would do that these days is beyond
me, but they do. So you may just need to install a vim package with
X11. On Ubuntu, that would be vim-gtk3. I know the name suggests
that's it's a GUI version of vim, which it is, but the vim program
it includes has support for X11.

That matches mine.

That makes sense.
