The WMF core features team tracks this bug on Mingle card https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/flow/cards/506, but people from the community are welcome to contribute here and in Gerrit.
Looks like it *does* change when you hard-refresh – I'm guessing there's not much we can do about this until we tackle our magical live-updating websockets chunk of work.

live-updating websockets ...
Our code already knows when the user changes the title, but the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing elsewhere in our 2300 lines of JavaScript. The topic should trigger('onTopicTitleChanged') and the textarea can respond by updating the placeholder. Soon edit conflict handling may trigger the same, and yes eventually the live-updating code will also trigger it. If we do it right, the future work is easier.
