Since the conversations here are threaded there is no real reason you can't change your title. If readers want to know how nodes are connected they can use the threaded view. If your node is so significantly different as to deserve a different subject then it realy isn't any lose of information if it shows up on Newest Nodes without the original subject (as it IS a new subject). So I think you are fine and your node titles have been fine by me. I believe this is one of those topics where the minority wins out normaly just because they are more vocal about the issue. The fact is, if they want to see relationship between nodes on NN then they should patch it to use the meta-data available in other parts of the node (not the subject) to determine and display those relationships. (or use the handy Recent Threads which does exactly that)
