Right, that's a hard problem.

Maybe it is possible to see whether there's a title set already, and do
not overwrite it in that case?  Cause even with clever titlecasing, the
ISI-provided title might be a regression from a crossref.org one, as
those are usually properly capitalized and have the acronyms correct.

Another possibility could be a general "merge window" popup, where the
user could review the old and new data for the changed field(s), and
reject/approve them manually (maybe having "approve all without further
asking from now on" as an option as well).
