Awesome! I found a bug!
I would expand and simplify the ticket to:* "Xmp.dc.title creates tags
during import - it shouldn't"*- It really boils down to that.
The iPhoto export was merely incidental, other tools might set that field
and have the same result.

cheers!

Note: iPhoto seems to write their 'tags' (they called them "Keywords") to
Iptc.Application2.Keywords and Xmp.dc.subject (yes, to both).

Here the Iptc and Xmp fields of a pic (attached) which can be used to
reproduce the problem.
It had the iPhoto Keywords: "Flowers" "Photography Class" - I was expecting
those tags - but I was also getting a Shotwell tag "DSC_0240", and I
workaround it by removing all XMP fields - hence I think Shotwell is
using Xmp.dc.title as a tag too, and that's really the problem IMO:

on my lunch outside the office.
