Thanks Don and Germany. This is the right train of thought.

To get it to work I had to escape the string that sets the terminal title. Like this...

Code:
set prompt="$USER@`hostname -s`:%{^[]0;`hostname -s`^G%} "

*Note: This escaped string cannot be at the end of the $prompt string. You'll notice a space character after the escaped string in the example above. If you don't want that last space character, put the escaped string in front...

Code:
set prompt="%{^[]0;`hostname -s`^G%}$USER@`hostname -s`:"

Thanks for your help, guys. Problem solved.

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
