The discussion is about the _default_ frame title. Users can define their own title formatting. How common is the use of multiple applications (in separate window-mgr windows) for the same file or directory (or other argument)? (Not a rhetorical question - that's never been my experience.) Wrt your examples of a file or dir, showing the buffer name should be even more specific, and even better distinguish from some other app window for the same file or dir, no? Especially if the other app puts its app name first in the title.
