The title is not only used on the title page, but also in other places, such as the pdf meta data. Your hack to add the tikzpicture to the title page collides with this usage.
I suggest to insert the image via the titlegraphic macro, this is normally printed at the bottom of the title page, but if you would like it below the title, you could redefine the titlepage as following:
documentclassbeamer
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarydecorations.text
titleTWO PROBLEMS
titlegraphic begintikzpicture
path [decorate,decoration=text along path, text=around the]
(0,0) sin (1,1) cos (2,0);

A simpler approach, thankfully pointed out by @marmot, could be to use titlegraphic together with absolute positioning on the page. This could save you from redefining the titlepage (if there is enough room for the image).

Perhaps addtitlegraphic begintikzpicture[overlay,remember picture] path [decorate,decoration=text along path, text=around the, shift=(current page.center)] (0,0) sin (1,1) cos (2,0); endtikzpictureas an alternative? You could then drop the stuff betweenmakeatletterandmakeatotheraltogether.

@marmot Good thinking! Are you sure you don't want to add this as an answer yourself? This so much easier than my title page redefinition...

Yes, I am sure I don't want to post an answer myself. This method is really just an alternative that works in that particular case. If the graphics is too large or the page layout is different, it won't work since it is an overlay.
