Apparently, it did. On January 30, 2005, Piero D'Ancona wrote to the TeX on Mac OS X Mailing List ( http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ ):
Hi co-listers.
For those of you who need the combination amsart+babel in a non-english language, and are annoyed by the running title bug (i.e., you get a running title like "italianSHORTTITLE OF THE PAPER" instead of "SHORTTITLE OF THE PAPER" as expected), I have a quick fix: just add after \maketitle the line
\let\languagename\relax
This is just a dirty trick but it solves the problem and in my tests produces no collateral damage. Be sure to put the above line before any sectioning commands (where the marks for the \output routine are set). Still waiting for a true fix of course.
Thank you very much for the tip, it works perfectly !

I probably used a previous (unaffected) version of babel, as stated in the bug report, so I did not observed the bug before installing teTeX 3.0.
(And now I know where to look for such problems)
Thanks again !
