Wordpress's auto save system may well be your problem, as I think custom fields are not passed along for auto saves (so your customHeader and customTitle post variables will be empty during an auto save).

In your save function you should check if the DOING_AUTOSAVE constant is set (this seems to be preferable to checking the post action) and return if so. Something like this:

if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;
