Two additional solutions that avoid the potential cross-reference
link problems that Shlomo points out:
* Use "old-style" paragraph-based autonumbering for chapter numbers,
in combination with Volume Number and Chapter Number variables
formatted as text or numbers.
* Create the title text in a dedicated tagged text flow in the main
information source document for the book file set, and import the
flow as a text inset.
The issue also suggests there's a valid case for increasing the
number of book-wide variables.

Bernard,
You wrote:
... Each file for each nation is based on the same template. In the
template I view the master pages and in the footer/header of each page
I place an xref to the BookName paragraph that I put into the cover.
Then all I ever need to do is update cover.fm and update xrefs. In
doing so I get a fully dynamic link that jumps to the cover (should I
need that) and I also get a complete and dynamic way to update the
title.
But when converting the FM book to on-screen PDF, all
cross-references are converted to links (unless placed in text
insets).
Thus the header/footer of each page will have "unintentional" links
(which may even become bad links in some circumstances) -- see
http://www.microtype.com/resources/PDFBP_links.html#UnintentionalLinks
for real-life examples (Acrobat SDK documentation).
