Well maybe there is a bug in the code and I just can't see it, but
it works for me.

seen_esc = 0;
while (i < sizeof(title) && read(tty, &ch, 1) > 0) {
    
    /* read and discard characters until we get the ESC character
       which starts the title response of the terminal */
    
    if (seen_esc == 0) { 
        if (ch == '\033') 
            seen_esc = 1;
        else    
            continue;
    }       
    
    /* This character terminates the title response
       according to the xterm control sequence specification.
       Stop reading - this should prevent the delay */
    if (ch == '\x9c')  /* ST */
        break;

    /* append a character of the title response to the buffer */
    title[i++] = ch;
}
