I guess, the problem is, that according to the standard it is up to the 
viewer to decide how to handle the 'title' elements:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-SVG-20001102/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements>

Firefox seems to show the first element in the title bar, regardless of 
where it was specified (the plot titles are inside groups), but Opera 
uses only a title element which is placed in the top level of the 
document structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<svg width="200" height="200"
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
   <title>The SVG title</title>
   <rect x="5" y="5" width="190" height="190" />
</svg>

So, writing the <title> next to the <desc> works fine.
