The only thing I can think of is that you aren't really updating the title metadata.

To test, I set my tweak to

title_sort_articles=r'^(A|The|An|Die|Der|Das)\s+'

which is for all intents and purposes the same as yours. It works fine. I stuck the German articles in front of random titles, and they sort to where they were before, ignoring the articles. In addition, the title_sort field is set correctly.

Try double-clicking on the title in question (Der Golem) so that the edit box opens. Then hit return. Alternatively, try doing an edit-metadata single. Using search/replace to set the title to itself probably won't work, because the title updater tries hard not to do null operations.
