I confirm this as well...

Though, it works (authors on two lines) with my company-class:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[11pt]{myreport}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and it's OK for me...

For your info (even if that does not change anything to the subject here),
here is the new definition of my title page:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\RequirePackage{keyval}
\define@key{myMkTitle}{caption}[]{\def\myMkTitle@caption{#1}}
\define@key{myMkTitle}{logo}[]{\def\myMkTitle@logo{#1}}
\setkeys{myMkTitle}{caption={}, logo={}} % preset keys with a default value,
                                         % so that above variables are created
\renewcommand{\maketitle}[1][]{%
    \setkeys{myMkTitle}{#1}
    \null
    \thispagestyle{empty}%
    \begin{changemargin}{-3.5cm}{0cm}
        \begin{center}
            \leavevmode
            \ifthenelse{\equal{\myMkTitle@logo}{}}
            {}%
            {\includegraphics[height=2cm]{\myMkTitle@logo}} \\%
            \ifthenelse{\equal{\myMkTitle@caption}{}}
            {}%
            {\textbf{\sc{\myMkTitle@caption}}}
            \par\vspace{\stretch{2}}
            \normalfont
            {\Huge \color{my-color-document-title}\textbf{\@title}\par}%
            \vskip 5mm
            {\large \@author\par}%
            \vskip 2mm
            {\large \@date\par}%
            \par\vspace{\stretch{3}}
            \includegraphics[height=2cm]{MissionCriticalIT}
        \end{center}%
    \end{changemargin}
    \null
    \clearpage
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

My "maketitle" accepts key-val pairs, such as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\maketitle[logo=LaTeX2e, caption=LaTeX]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

to have both the "LaTeX2e" figure and the "LaTeX" string outputted on the top
of the title page (for client reports).
