Might one conclude that the substitution works just fine, but that the application to which you are sending the data can't handle longer data?
It is the user's responsibility to provide to the application only what it can handle. The system will not prevent it (except for authorized cases where providing too much data can be a system integrity exposure for incorrectly written programs).
