HOWEVER...it does work if I do this.

It seems like the core Application can't pick up events dispatched
from a TitleWindow. Is this a known issue or am i missing something??
This is a known issue and is a result of the way the PopUpManager
works. The reason you can't just dispatch the event from the popup is
that the event doesn't bubble to the application to be picked up by the
controller. By dispatching the event from the application, you ensure
the controller gets it.
The visual hierarchy, with a popup open, looks something like this
(sorry for the bad ascii art):
SystemManager
||
ApplicationPopup Window
||
ChildForm 1ChildForm 2
Notice that from Child form 1 or 2, the event will bubble up to the
application and be picked up by the controller. but because the
application itself is not the root of the hierarchy, the popup
window's event will never bubble up to it.
Thus, this is a fact of life for now. It's just the way the
PopUpManager works (and an easy way to control modal-ness - you can
just blur, shade, and block input to the entire Application branch
without affecting the popup window).
