Personally, I would revert the use of PROMPT_COMMAND in favor of simply embedding the xterm title-changing stuff in PS1 proper. I don't have any insight into why this is implemented this way, though (however, ISTR that this used to be all handled in PS1 back in some primordial version of Debian).

Tangentially, see also, perhaps, bug 116226
