Comment (by ruud@…):

 The scenario in which this became apparent (and a problem) is as follows:
 We use a naming convention where a page/post title can have additional
 info enclosed with square brackets, e.g.: "Reception [senior department]"

 We have multiple 'Reception' pages throughout our website for each
 department. This helps us greatly in some cases where page/post titles are
 shown in CMS dropdowns etc. the bracket designation helps identify the
 page you want (instead of random choosing 1 of perhaps 6 'Reception'
 pages)

 To prevent showing this title to an end-user we use the 'the_title' filter
 with a 'in_the_loop' check. The filter then removes the square bracket
 part of the title.
