I think Obi-Wan was mocking Vader. Much like Yoda does to Sidious before the battle in RotS.

Heres a bit of info that can clear up this discussion:
In a 2005 interview, George Lucas was asked the origins of the name "Darth Vader", and replied: "Darth is a variation of dark. And Vader is a variation of father. So it's basically Dark Father." (Rolling Stone, June 2, 2005). "Vader" is the Dutch word for "father", and the German word for "father" (Vater) is similar. However, in the earliest scripts for Star Wars, the name "Darth Vader" was given to a normal Imperial general. Judging by the origin of the other Sith names, Vader may also possibly be a derivative of the word "invader." In other languages the name "Darth Vader" was changed for some unknown reason; in France the name became "Dark Vador", and in Italy it became "Dart Fener".

Origins and context aside, old Ben calling him "Darth" is akin to calling Count Dooku "Count." Or Count Dracula, for that matter. "You can't win, Count."
