Just found this. 
George Stauffer in "J.S. Bch as organist", Indiana 1986, p. 197, quoting an
autograph entitled "Passacalio con Pedal pro organo pleno" writes that "This
appellation refutes once and for all Forkel's mistaken notion that the
Passacaglia was written for the pedal clavichord."

I beg to disagree with Stauffer. With a few surviving autographs (and
evidence of at least two other ones, by JSBach and Krebs, having existed and
later been lost) diversely entitled, the title of ONE manuscript is
interesting evidence but, on its own, it refutes nothing. 
Of course, Bach-clavichordist-sons-influenced Forkel proves nothing either.
