 Maker] users have also reported the same thing happening when they upload
 images.

 This may be due to an update in r117617-wpcom in May 6th, there appears to
 be code for media to “Use image exif/iptc data for title and caption
 defaults if possible.”

 This is an image that was uploaded May 5th:

 [[Image(nocaption.png,100%)]]

 And this was uploaded May 7th, after the update:

 [[Image(caption.png,100%)]]
