Seems worth investigating.

The original reporter followed up on the mailing list:

I would expand and simplify the ticket to: "Xmp.dc.title creates tags during
import - it shouldn't"- It really boils down to that.

The iPhoto export was merely incidental, other tools might set that field and
have the same result.

Note: iPhoto seems to write their 'tags' (they called them "Keywords") to
Iptc.Application2.Keywords and Xmp.dc.subject (yes, to both).

Here the Iptc and Xmp fields of a pic (attached) which can be used to
reproduce the problem.

It had the iPhoto Keywords: "Flowers" "Photography Class" - I was expecting
those tags - but I was also getting a Shotwell tag "DSC_0240", and I
workaround it by removing all XMP fields - hence I think Shotwell is using
Xmp.dc.title as a tag too, and that's really the problem IMO:

Iptc.Envelope.CharacterSet String 3 ESC%G

Iptc.Application2.RecordVersion Short 1 2

Iptc.Application2.Caption String 46 This was taken on my lunch outside the
office.

Iptc.Application2.Keywords String 7 Flowers

Iptc.Application2.Keywords String 17 Photography Class

Iptc.Application2.ObjectName String 8 DSC_0240

Xmp.dc.description LangAlt 1 lang="x-default" This was taken on my lunch
outside the office.

Xmp.dc.subject XmpBag 2 Photography Class, Flowers

Xmp.dc.title LangAlt 1 lang="x-default" DSC_0240

Xmp.aux.SerialNumber XmpText 20 NO= 2004a20f

Xmp.aux.Lens XmpText 41 AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED

Xmp.aux.LensID XmpText 9 742166022

Xmp.aux.ImageNumber XmpText 5 10658

Xmp.aux.FlashCompensation XmpText 3 0/1

I now believe this to be a configuration problem on the user's computer, since
I was unable to reproduce the problem here at Yorba with the image the user
provided. I have emailed the user asking him to collect information on his
metadata library versions. Once I hear back, we'll know whether this problem
is general or configuration-specific.
