There are 7 characters missing from the title in the result set. Maybe this is a clue?
Accessing the result http://www.gbif.org/dataset/770fe37c-52e7-4efb-9686-0c082d0c6b23 we see that the title is truncated ending in ...

[~jlegind@gbif.org] I have committed a fix to how the search results are displayed: https://code.google.com/p/gbif-portal/source/detail?r=2518

The question of how the dataset title in dataset detail pages gets displayed, appears to be a closed discussion. See PF-327
