Well I figured out what was causing this problem and the behavior isn't quite
what I first described. I think it was just a coincidence that the pages I
used to test this had the specific head/title/meta order to produce the
results I got, suggesting one behavior, when in fact it was another. The real
behavior is described in the thread I created here:
