I had reason to check on copyright law last year and found, much
to my surprise, that the title is not included in the copyright
protection. This should have been obvious, since you see so many
repeats of tiltles.

Thus I suspect that Pynchon got nothing for the title.

Do you Pynchon fans know that a small press in England
has been reprinting a few of his stories that were published
in magazines?

Does anyone have a complete list of stories including the
place and date of publication?
