Well my suggestion was rejected... :-) Anyway I now think it's easier (for those who don't want to allow html in page titles) to create a new get_page_plain_title() tag (that uses stripslashes as you suggest) and insert it both in <title> and <h1> in the template.
(It could be created in a small plugin or in the theme's functions.php, though it would be nicer to have that function in the core....)
