And even though I have been able to split the line, e.g. title={this is my very, very, very,\\ very etc. etc. long title}, what happens is that part of the caption still appears on the right-hand page of the spread.

Or alternatively, have the caption neatly split across the two pages with appropriate space inbetween? I tried various combinations, including an \hfill halfway through the title, but to no avail. Perhaps this is asking too much, but there may be a workaround.
I guess you need something like
title={\hbox to \textwidth{\vbox{Your lengthy caption}}}
or
title={\framedtext[width=\textwidth,frame=off,align=right]{Your lengthy caption}}
