Sometimes Mods change the title to be the original article title. And sometimes they change it from the original article title to something else!

Yes... they change it to the original unless it's really clear the original change was super necessary. In cases when the original title tells you nothing of the content, they change it to something useful. Seems like a pretty transparent and reasonable heuristic to me.
I agree that it's reasonable. I don't feel it's applied uniformly though.
No policy ever is.
