"My guess is that if the inbound links match the titles too much, Google doesn't like it"

Hmmm. taken to it's logical conclusion this could perhaps mean that a competitor could damage a site's ranking by creating inbound links that were the same as the title but I wouldn't think that this would be an effective part of an SE algo. Perhaps they may ignore the links?
