No, it is a bug/weakness in Zope (explained in another thread
--> mailing list archives).

Probably your best option:
   make a new folder, copy all content from the old
   folder into the new folder, delete the old folder.

When you are proficient with Python, there is an alternative:
   you can temporarily eliminate the duplicate id check
   in "PropertyManager.addProperty"
   and add the title property again.
