That is what I would do. I think the script notices that the title is
empty and drops it, but in any case it would be good even if it
generated 

title = ""

as this would not take up any space when LilyPond typeset it (I think).
(The script actually generates some rather complicated syntax \with-url,
but that is not relevant).

Do you mean you opened the Score Properties Editor and chose the
"Delete" button for the Titles directive?

Can you reproduce this crash?

you will also want some looping to do every movement

(while (d-PreviousMovement))

will take you to the first movement and

(while (d-NextMovement)
        (d-DirectivePut-header-postfix "NumberedTitle" 
                (string-append "\nsubtitle = \"Piece Number " (number->string 
(d-GetMovement)) "\"\n")))

will put the subtitle field on each movement header. (you would need
another call to put it on the first movement).
