That's inevitable because it's functionally identical.

Invalid characters will cause that sort of problem.

I'd still suggest you start from: You're using none-UTF-8 chars in a
function expecting UTF-8 or vice versa.

As with many other users, I write internationalized (be it single
language but not English, or translated) apps in cake every day.

If you want to work in reverse find where in your call to $html->link
the title goes "missing" by following which functions get called until
you arrive at a PHP function. I.e. start here
http://code.cakephp.org/source/cake/libs/view/helpers/html.php#279

It will be no surprise if you end up here:
http://api.cakephp.org/view_source/basics.php/#l-197

Ah the I-will-switch blackmail philosophy. I hear CI has a smiley
helper that's pretty hot.
