Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I'd like to go back to first principals and consider what exactly the
 problem is that needs to be solved.


 I believe the issue is that "Auto Draft" is technical details AND that
 there is no way to differentiate between posts when viewing the admin
 screen.

 The issue with `(no title supported)` was similar: it's a technical detail
 AND there was no way to differentiate between posts when viewing the admin
 screen.

 Wrapping the title in brackets isn't great. `No title` or `Untitled` is an
 improvement on the earlier version but still lacks a way of
 differentiating the posts in the admin.

 An additional question to ask is this: Is this a bug in WordPress or
 themes/plugins developing CPTs without title support? WordPress provides
 numerous filters to modify the title display; is it reasonable to expect
 these to be used (I believe it is).

 Regarding the default themes, I'm not overly concerned about them
 displaying the default value on the front end. WordPress default themes
 are designed to support WordPress default post types which support titles.
