Hey, that's not a bug, but normal interaction between shell commands and screen. By default all commands go to acitve window, if you want to change window title of the window you type in you should do something like:
sleep 10; screen -p $WINDOW -X title XXX
where $WINDOW will get automatically expanded to number of current window (you can check it with echo $WINDOW).

screen -X title affects wrong window if was called in background
Example:

( sleep 10 ; screen -X title XXX ) & { press C-n c here }

After 10 seconds the title of new created window will be affected
