It's just because they use 16-bit integers for these loc co-ordinates. Since
there is no real-world reason to ever need loc's that are outside the
range -32768 to +32767 (since no monitor is that size), I would assume that
MM have decided not to add the extra memory requirements of 32-bit integers
for these values. If it's a problem, you can alwatys store an internal loc
property with a floating-point value, and just crop it manually. This is
also a handy way of doing less-than-1-pixel-per-frame movements.
