Actually, you are using a page template.

Calling ItemsForm() invokes the render() method of 
zope.formlib.form.FormBase, which uses pageform.pt in the zope.formlib 
folder by default.  This is where title_or_id is requested.

You may wish to set a different template for your ItemsForm class.

Have you tried subclassing form.SubPageEditForm instead of form.EditForm?
