    tamerj1 so, becasue until someone else will say otherwise, you found a bug 🙂
    In the mean time, I just jumped over it and solved it in another way (I'm adding the DAX Query):

     

     

     

     

    EVALUATE 
    VAR _CurrentTitle = SELECTCOLUMNS ( FILTER ('Table', 'Table'[Title] = "set field title case" ), "@Title", [Title] )
    VAR _Length = LEN ( _CurrentTitle )
    VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, _Length, 1 )
    VAR T2 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T1, "@Title", _CurrentTitle, "@SapceLocation", FIND ( " ", _CurrentTitle, [Value], BLANK ( ) ) )
    VAR T3 = FILTER ( T2, [Value] = 1 || [@SapceLocation] = [Value] )
    VAR T4 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T3, "@LetterLocation", IF ( [Value] = 1, 1, [Value] + 1 ) )
    VAR T5 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T4, "@FirstLetter", MID  ( [@Title], [@LetterLocation], 1 ) )
    VAR T6 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T5, "@CapitalLetter", UPPER ( [@FirstLetter] & "" ) )
    VAR T7 = ADDCOLUMNS(
    			T6, 
    			"@Extracted Letter", 
    			MID ( 
    				[@Title], 
    				[@LetterLocation],
    				COALESCE(
    					MINX( 
    						FILTER(
    							T6, 
    							[@LetterLocation] > EARLIER([@LetterLocation])
    						),
    						VALUE([@LetterLocation])
    					),
    					_Length * 3
    				) - [@LetterLocation] - 1
    			)
    		)
    
    
    VAR T8 = ADDCOLUMNS ( T7, "@Extracted Letter Title Case", REPLACE ( [@Extracted Letter], 1, 1, [@CapitalLetter] ) )
    
    
    VAR Result = 
        { 
            CONCATENATEX ( 
                T8,
                [@Extracted Letter Title Case],
                " ",
                [@LetterLocation],
                ASC
            )
        }
    RETURN
        Result
