strange/counterintuitive 'title' behavior

Hello All,

if I run this:

"
figure_number = 0;
figure(++figure_number);
plot(0:9, 0.5 * (0:9), "-1;y1;", 0:9, 1.0 * (0:9), "-2;y2;");
title("Title after");

figure(++figure_number);
title("Title before");
plot(0:9, 0.5 * (0:9), "-1;y1;", 0:9, 1.0 * (0:9), "-2;y2;");
title("Title after");
",

I'm getting two graphs - the first of them does have "Title after" written on it,
the second does _not_ have "Title before" written on it, though it first appears
and then, when the graph proper is rendered, disappears.

"help title" just says

"
Create a title object and return a handle to it.
".

In everyday life we write titles before rather than after - that's why I think
the behavior looks strange/counterintuitive.

The terminal was set to 'wxt'; 'octave' version is 3.0.1.

Is it 'octave' or 'gnuplot' issue ?

Thanks,
  Sergei.
