Updating document.title does not update the title for the URL in Chome's history entry

Reported by daniel.a...@gmail.com, May 31 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use document.title = 'New Title' on a page to update the title
2. Notice the title changes in the tab.
3. Check browser history, title is still set to the original title.

What is the expected behavior?
Title would update in the history entry to the modified title.

What went wrong?
The history title is not being updated unless setting document.title follows a call to window.history.replaceState/pushState.

A workaround seems to be to invoke a window.history function immediately before setting the title.
window.history.replaceState(null, '')
document.title = 'My Modified Title';

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Able to reproduce the issue on Windows-7,Windows-10,Mac-10.12.4 and Linux Ubuntu-14.04 using chrome stable version 58.0.3029.110 and canary 61.0.3115.0 with the steps mentioned in comment#0.

This is Non-Regression issue, observed from M30 #30.0.1549.0 and marking it as Untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.
