Is there any way to include a title with a colon in a YAML header block
like so:
---
title: This title: has a colon
---
Is there a way of escaping the colon, or is this an absolute
restriction, implying that titles with colons have to incorporated by
other means?

Don't you quote it like any other string literal?
---
title: "This title: has a colon"
----
That's always seemed to fix escaping problems in my Hakyll files' metadata.

Thank you. Both single and double quotes work.
I do not know YAML well and think that I had been overly fixated on
backslash escaping to consider alternatives.

The Wikipedia page on YAML contains very good descriptions of the syntax,
both terse listing of syntax rules and more explanatory.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML
Note that some of the more advanced features don't make sense in Pandoc
metadata and/or are not supported by the parser Pandoc uses.
