I think you've found either a bug or deliberately changed behaviour that 
Adobe didn't tell us about.  In FM 9, my tests show that the 
Widow/Orphan setting is respected, and so that number of lines is 
carried over a page break along with the anchored frame.  You don't 
happen to have a forced return at the end of your Title pgf? That, plus 
a low W/Orphan setting might cause what you're seeing.

A work-around (or what may be a better practice anyway) is to put the 
anchored frame in its own dedicated left-aligned pgf (at insertion 
point), then set your Title tag to Keep with Next Pgf.  That method 
gives you much more control over spacing.
