Comment (by dd32):

 > I think it should just fail and return an error. Truncating values
 somehow introduced a security problem, which is how this secure-but-
 unhelpful code was introduced in the first place (see my earlier comment
 where I pointed to the security release where this bug was introduced and
 the exact commit). Right @pento ?

 Correct. Silently truncating data as it goes into a Database can very
 easily cause a security vulnerability (as strange as it seems).
 We should add an error message, but `wpdb` should continue to abort.
