If it is for tagging, fix it in the tagger.  Having them all [untitled]
makes it easy to identify them and treat them in slightly different way.
Not just for the tagger, but also for other applications who display
or use this data.

(I would prefer to tag such files with an empty string for the track
 title, no need for %num to be in there, that is already in the track
 number field).

mb-style is the appropriate place if you want to have something changed
in the style guidelines, yes.  You are ofcourse welcome to discuss
anything on mb-users first :)
