Can you post the tex file that is produced with the TITLE directive? I
don't understand why/how roman page numbers are produced (but I don't
know memoir well).

This is probably a bug - Carsten has fixed a number of instances
of such escaped braces I believe.

You can perhaps redefine org-export-latex-title-command:
(setq org-export-latex-title-command "\\begin{titlingpage}\n\\maketitle\n\\end{titlingpage}")
and try using the TITLE directive again. I'm surmising that this had
something to do with the roman page numbers, but maybe that's wrong?
HTH,
