Putty/xterm window titlebar not updating

When launching a bash shell on my Ubuntu 12.04 box either directly through
putty or xterm, or via a shell under screen from putty or xterm, the below
command correctly sets my putty window title to "testing" (and to "testing
on ${HOSTNAME}" in the case of xterm).

echo -ne "\033]0;testing\007"

But under a tmux managed shell, the same command has no effect. Any ideas?
My version info is...

~ $ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS"
~ $ dpkg -l tmux

I've isolated this to a byobu specific issue.
