Actually, that is clearly a bug of the typesetter, as demonstrated by
the attached document (which uses no style).

Pages which do not have a 'this page header/footer' before the first
assignation to 'odd/even page header/footer' use the value of
'odd/even page header/footer'.

The obvious work around is to clear the headers and footers at the
start of the document using

  <apply|odd-page-text|><apply|even-page-text|>

You may put this inside the make-title environment just before the
title environment.

Note: your document contains an unwanted and essentially empty
paragraph before the title.
