But you don't need an invisible autonumber in the chapter title to have its chapter number appear in the TOC. My setup is quite similar to yours (minus the pretty graphic). Here's the TitleChapterTOC pgf from my ref page TOC spec (with \t in place of tabs): 

\t<$chapnum> \t<$paratext> \t\t\t\t<$pagenum>

(The initial tab, in case you're wondering, is to right-align the chapter numbers. The multiple tabs before <$pagenum> are to properly handle multi-line chapter titles.)

The TitleChapter pgfs don't have autonumbers, hidden or otherwise, but they have a <$chapnum> value associated with them (via the document numbering properties) by virtue of which file they're in. 

This works perfectly as long as there is only on chapter (and thus chapter title) per file.
