MOSS 2007 Breadcrumb problem

Question

I've got a page layout for a publishing site with an odd behaviour.

Imagine a publishing site (site) with a subsite (subsite1) which has the following pages (page1 [default], page2, and page3)

for page 2 and page three the breadcrumb renders correctly:

site > subsite1 > page2 
site > subsite1 > page3

however for the default page the breadcrumb only renders as

site > subsite1

Any idea how to force it to display the title of the default page too?

After much searching and failing repeatedly I decided to use an AJAX include. Before anyone marks me down for using the devils language (VB.Net) I only used it as I had other developers who were using and maintaing this code so they had to be able to read it...

The include did the following:

split the current url into its constituent parts
For each part get the Sharepoint URL and Sharepoint Web
Print the Title of the sharepoint web
If the part is a page, get the page title and print it

This isnt the final code (i'm going to refactor it tonight):

  Dim lsPage = Request.Item("CurrentPage")
  Dim TravelURL as string = "http://site/"
  Dim aryURLSections() = lsPage.Replace(TravelUrl, "").Split("/")
  Dim i as integer

  Response.Write("<span class='breadcrumbCurrent'>You are in &gt;</span> <span class='ms-sitemapdirectional'><a href='" & TravelUrl & "' title='Home'>Home</a> &gt; </span>")

  for i = 0 to (aryURLSections.Length -1)
    Dim PositionString as string = aryURLSections(i)
    if PositionString.Contains(".aspx") then
        'Render page
        Dim psite as SPSite = new SPSite(TravelUrl)
        Dim pobjSite As SPWeb = psite.OpenWeb() 
        Dim lList as SPList
        Dim lPage As SPListItem
        lList = pobjSite.Lists("Pages")
            If Not lList Is Nothing Then
                For Each lPage In lList.Items
                IF lsPage.ToUpper.Contains(lPage.Url.ToUpper) Then
                Response.Write("<span class='breadcrumbCurrent' >" & lPage.Title & "</span>")
                Else
                'Response.Write("<br>" & lPage.Url & " " & lsPage)
                End If
            Next
        End if
    Else if PositionString.Equals("Pages")
        ' do nothing
    else
        'render site
        TravelUrl = TravelUrl & PositionString & "/"
        'Response.Write(TravelUrl & " > ")
        Dim site as SPSite = new SPSite(TravelUrl)

        Dim objSite As SPWeb = site.OpenWeb()   
        Dim PubWeb = PublishingWeb.GetPublishingWeb(objSite)

        Response.Write("<span class='ms-sitemapdirectional'><a href='" & TravelUrl & "' title='" & PubWeb.Title & "'>" & PubWeb.Title & "</a> &gt; </span>")
    End if

    Next i
