Yes, this is all a reminder that whatever you put on the internet could come back in ways you didn't expect. But that "feature" of the cross post including the title or first sentence of a (possibly) locked post? Aside from the potential for drama-farming, there's the very real issues of people who want to keep their LJ identity FAR AWAY from whatever public FB they may have.
The thing that has me raising my eyebrows however, is the incompatibilities between how LJ treats your content and how FB treats it. Essentially, LJ says "Hey, your content is your content", whereas FB says "Hey, your content is your content, until someone else posts it or links to it anywhere on FB. Then it's our content!"
(That's a very, VERY simple explanation of it all, but it does cover the important points.)
So. Double-check your settings (http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions), and be very aware of what tickyboxes are available or highlighted when you're commenting.
