It's not a bug it's a feature :-)

The MARC interface is completly driven by the parameter table.
If you go to Parameters / marc tag structure / 100 (or 245)
you'll see that all the 245 subfields are IGNORED (tab -1). So, no 245 
subfields appears anywhere.

Change this (put them in tab 0, or 1, or what you want), and... tada... 
title appears !
take a look at : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=UserDoc

I'll look at this. seems to be a true bug.
