Migrating a changed view
Procedurally, you should skip steps 3 and 4 in the first list.  For views, reverting will delete the view's config from the database, which is why you had to re-re-edit the title.  FYI, reverting works differently for other objects.


  In some cases (e.g. views), the revert operation will delete the respective configuration in the database, so the system will instead use the default configuration that is defined in the feature module's code.

I am not sure what caused the error you received.  It might be related to the steps you used.  I'd try again and see what happens. :)
