Well, it seems you are a new konsole user :)

The thing is not that you are sending the wrong escape sequence. It is 
that by default konsole does not care about and show the "window title"
at all.

konsole only cares about the so called "tab title (format)". To see what 
"tab title (format)" means, just double click one konsole tab, and
take a look at the shown dialog. The "%w" is used there, not in the 
escape sequence.

If you wonder why konsole by default does not care about "window title", 
see that (long) bug report.
