How about forcing your own line breaks in long titles, with the
fo:inline around everything before the line break?

One way is to set linefeed-treatment="preserve" [1] on the containing
fo:block and putting the line breaks in the text.

It means more work for you, but you can tell yourself that you're using
the manual line breaks to also make the long titles more readable
compared to having the formatter just fill the lines.
