Bug Description
The Eagle schematic importer attempts to import the title block but maps it to the same position from the Eagle schematic which overlaps the default KiCad worksheet. It should either not import the title block or create a custom worksheet from the Eagle import add it to the schematic file. My preference would be the latter. I've attached a PDF plot of the issue but every Eagle schematic I've imported with a title block shows the same issue.

I was thinking the same thing. The only possible problem is that the frame graphics is a common symbol in Eagle, so we may be forced to use some heuristics to detect it. Currently it is not very hard to remove either KiCad or Eagle frame, but I realize it is an extra step in the import process.
