One of my friends has been playing Half-Life 2 of late, and the way it's displayed changes based on which OS I'm in. When I'm in Linux, the status reads "In-Game: Half-Life 2 (Beta)", and in Windows it reads "In-Game: Half-Life 2". So unless she is also dual-booting and switching between systems at the exact same time as I am, it's pulling the title of the game from my library instead of hers.

Hello @stevethepocket, as far as I can tell, this behavior is intentional and beneficial to developers. It prevents unreleased game titles from showing up by accident to friends of devs. If there are any major discrepancies, then they should be brought to the attention of the game's devs.
