Actually I tried both ChartTitle.Text and ChartTitle.Characters.Text
The VBA macro recorder uses Characters.Text to set the title but at first I 
thought that this object was only due to my Japanese version of Office, so I
 tried with both possibilities at every step of my testing. 
Now I think that the problem lies in copying a chart from one place to 
another since the problem arises with both Copy and Location methods.. 
Either there is a problem with win32com, or the com interface of the object 
is bugged, or I am not using things the right way altogether.

Thank you for the insight anyway
