The draft mechanism avoids this problem because of the way that one only ever edits the "draft.title" field of the draft tiddler, rather than the actual title field of the target tiddler. It also avoids the focus loss issue.
Thus, the natural solution to the problem is to adopt the same draft mechanism: your list in List-Venues could display the list of venues as a story, with a separate template for tiddlers that are in draft mode. Then you'd need to add buttons for "edit", "cancel", "done" etc against each tiddler in the list. I've been meaning to put together a demo of this technique, but until I do you should be able to figure out what to do by studying how the main story mechanism works.
