Interesting. It does seem to first check the length to make sure it's
not too short. It's fine if the field is too long (fixed or varying),
but it can't be too short (fixed or varying; in the case of fixed, it
won't even compile).
Doesn't change my assessment that this is a bug. If anything, this
strikes me as even sloppier implementation, or even more clueless
documentation.
