Looks like it didn't use the title tag at all. Is your audio file named the same as the chapter?

The chapters listed in ABS were the filenames. I did a Rescan and it correctly repopulated the chapter titles using the id3 tags,

However, doing so reset my other tag changes for the book that differ from embedded tags, such as Genres.
