it's technically possible, though not easy. fyi, the title of the original youtube video is stored in the field's data array, under the raw/'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'/TITLE/0 element, so you could display it in your theme, for instance, with
<?phpprint check_plain($node->field_video[0]['data']['raw']['http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom']['TITLE'][0]);
?>
YouTube, Blip.TV, and possible Archive.org are currently the only providers fetching this data. It might be worth storing and displaying this metadata on a more general level. (The original author, perhaps, as well.) Similar to how we now grab the duration when available.
Patches are welcome.
