I can't reproduce this. Selecting a vanilla, camera-sourced JPEG photo in Shotwell and pressing F2 to edit the title does in fact write the new title into the Iptc.Application2.Caption and Iptc.Application2.Headline metadata fields in the backing file, according to the output of gexiv2 -p a. So this appears to be a special-case problem. Just so that I can open an upstream ticket containing all the information we need to get this fixed, could you add another comment to this bug and let me know:
(i) is the backing file of the photo that you're renaming in Shotwell a RAW file? (ii) what tool or tools are you using to view the photo metadata and to determine that the title hasn't been written?
