Confluence REST API returns page with empty title - known behavior?

Confluence Development Confluence Cloud

I’ve never encountered this behavior on-premises, but now in Confluence Cloud one time, maybe two times (still checking).

A page is returned with empty title.

Here’s the API endpoint I use:

https://company.atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/content/123456789?expand=body.storage,version,container,history,history.lastUpdated,contributors,restrictions,permissions,ancestors,metadata.labels&status=current

Just a regular “give me page with lots of data” call to the v1 REST API.

This returns something like this:

{
    "id": "123456789",
    "type": "page",
    "status": "current",
    "title": "",
    
    ...snip...
}

The title is empty. How is that even possible?

One affected page is the home page of a cloud-native software development space with some demo content on it. It looks like it has never been edited by any user.

What to make of that?

(Note: I don’t have access to the environment where the issue happens, so unfortunately I cannot check if this also affects the v2 API or if it changes with a different set of expands.)
