Well, I think maybe the problem is that when a page does not have a
title set (which would include non-existant pages), {$Title} defaults
to the value of {$Name} where you want it to default to {$FullName}.
Perhaps you could redefine {$Title}'s default using the some of the
methods described here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/MarkupVariables

Of course, I have no idea if the [[PageName |+]] markup would be
effected by such changes or not. Although, in existing pages that do
not have a title set, the title is set to the PageName in the meta
data of the file, which I think is where  [[PageName |+]] gets the
title. Whether the meta data is obtained from {$Title} or another
source on page save I couldn't say. What happens on non-existant pages
I have no idea. But thats where I would start.
