Yes, but that’s a feature.  It’s how ox-{latex,odt} works as well (via
hyperref).

You can do this by setting title to an empty quote and Org will export it,
but you produce invalid HTML.  It’s actually a bug in ox-html IMO.

This is inconsistent compared to ox-odt and ox-latex cf. above.  While the
two are not entire consistent in general, they are consistent in keeping
the title as meta data, while not printing it.

It does not.  We could change the manual to be more clear about this (it
says title "toggle[s] inclusion of title").
