Serp-bending (on page) seo very, very often runs COUNTER to good design, accessibility, and UI. If you're not at the point of having to strike a balance, deciding just how far you will let seo techniques erode the other user-centric considerations, then you're simply not pushing seo hard enough.

In most cases that part is for the benefit of a human navigating your site, not necessarily the search engine or tagging system like del.icio.us. I was thinking you could use unobtrusive javascript to append those words onto the title, for the benefit of the human, while the more concise version will be indexed.
