I haven't noted that he changed from the first version I checked:

!                 (with-temp-buffer
!                   (insert-file-contents tut nil 0 80)
!                   (buffer-substring (point-min) (progn (end-of-line) (point)))))

I agree with you:

* The first line must be used entirely for "Emacs Tutorial", no more no
  less.
* It will be centered, the position of where it is may and will vary
  from file to file.
* The code must strip whitespace from the beginning and end, and make
  sure in all cases it's getting only the title (Emacs Tutorial).
* Since only the first line is valuable for the code, it can be followed
  by an empty line (eye candy purposes).
