Upgrade StorageTitle of article is missing when citing multiple articles by same author

Hello there, I ran into the following problem:
I cite several articles by the same author in one paragraph. For example, I have the following two articles:
Saad, Lydia. “Americans’ Concern About Economy Rises to 12-Month High.” Gallup.com 10 Mar 2011. Web. 15 July 2011.
---. “Economy Eclipses Iraq as ‘Most Important Problem’.” Gallup.com 19 Nov 2007. Web. 15 July 2011.
In my text, I reference one article in the first sentence, then the other article by the same author in the second sentence.
This is what I wanted:
By the end of 2007, economic troubles became the most important problem for Americans (Saad, “Economy Eclipses Iraq as ‘Most Important Problem’”). Three years later, the situation has not changed in this regard (Saad, “Americans’ Concern About Economy Rises to 12-Month High”).
The weird thing is, zotero gave me only the name of the author for one article. It looked like this:
By the end of 2007, economic troubles became the most important problem for Americans (Saad, “Economy Eclipses Iraq as ‘Most Important Problem’”). Three years later, the situation has not changed in this regard (Saad).
I managed to correct this by deleting the article item from my library and reimporting the article by making a new snapshot of the website, and then inserting the citation anew into my text.
I assume this is some sort of bug.
Has anybody else experienced this error?
In my understanding, if I cite more than one article by the same author, zotero should insert the article's name so the reader knows which one I am referring to.
Best regards, Ben

If not, it could be related to these issues, which will be fixed in the next Zotero version:
