Comment:

 Inserting some arbitrary text will most certainly lead to some confusions.
 If an author decides to have no title for his post I think he is satisfied
 to see "(no title)" in the backend.
 The same goes for feeds. If the author sets no title he most probably
 wants to have no title in the feed neither. BTW, WP is handling the empty
 title correctly by setting the title tag to `<title />`.

 It would make more sense to put the proposed behaviour into a plugin since
 the user would consciously opt-in for this feature in that case.
