OK. Thanks (I can't test now or any time soon, but I suppose your
workaround (r105906) does what it looks it does).

But is there any reason a proper fix wouldn't be better? Having
truncated lines in the minibuffer seems a perfectly valid thing to wish
for.

If for some reason that is impossible, could you please at least
document that limitation?
