It would be more consistent -- but I think the idea here is that if you
just have one frame, then it's useful for that frame to be named
something with "emacs" in the name.  If you have several frames, then
that's not useful any more, so it switches to using buffer names as the
frame title instead.

So this is working as intended, so I'm closing this bug report.

As Andreas said, `frame-title-format' can be used to customise this to
your liking.
