Tab Discarder: need a way to prevent discard without hiding title

Reported by hufra...@tpg.com.au, Mar 23 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Pin a tab to prevent discard
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Title still visible so I can see eg. number of messages or whatever, ie. title might be "(1) Facebook"

What went wrong?
Title is hidden from pinned tab

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 5.1 (Windows XP)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I want to be aware of a tab's window title changes (showing alerts, messages etc.) while working in other tabs, so I want to prevent it being discarded[*]. The only way I know to prevent a tab being discarded is to pin it, but then the window title is hidden, defeating the purpose of being able to see changes to it.

[*] yes I know about browser notifications but not all sites support them and sometimes they don't work very well, eg. are very delayed relative to window title changes
