New description:

 I first encountered this issue on http://ru.forums.wordpress.org/ in
 February 2014, so it might be related to a dotorg commit around that time.

 Some existing topic titles have suddenly disappeared, and new topics with
 empty titles were created almost daily, which I had to correct manually
 ever since then.

 When this happens, the post is inaccessible on the front-end, because
 there is no link text: [attachment:meta-1297.png].

 Some examples of old topics that previously had titles:

 Apparently it happens when a very long Japanese text is used for a title.
 I tested with one of the titles which are actually used in the problematic
 topics, and could reproduce the issue.

 I could not reproduce this on a clean bbPress 1.x install, so apparently
 it comes from a plugin.

 Should be fixed with the upgrade to bbPress 2.x. This ticket is just for
 tracking and reference.
