I patched this in our local repo with a change to /src/applications/project/engine/PhabricatorBoardLayoutEngine.php, in the layoutBoard() method. Around line 520, inside if ($proxy_hits) block, you have array_slice() taking the first element of $proxy_hits, which seems random.

@aklapper Would it make sense to move the branch-naming lines into a function in class ArcanistGitWorkEngine, since it the branch-naming is git-specific? E.g.

Probably yes so it's easier with Subversion and Mercurial in the future (?)

Probably something with "for task" in the name like buildBranchNameForTask($task_ref)

Hopefully the latest change will work for you. Now it checks existing git branches matching "T12345*" and if any exist, it will git checkout the first one, else it will create it from the task name.
So that should allow you to change the task title, and to use arc work T12345 as many times as you want without error.
