facet.method=fc uses the fieldcache, but it uses the StringIndex for
all field types currently, so
you need to add in space for the string representation of all the
unique values. But this is only
250, so given the large number of docs, your estimate should still be close.

A more efficient representation is used for a set when the set size is
less than maxDoc/64.
This set type uses an int per doc in the set, so should use roughly
the same amount of memory
as a numeric fieldcache entry.

Perhaps you are already sorting by another field or faceting on
another field that is causing a lot of memory to already be used, and
this pushes it over the edge? Or perhaps the JVM simply can't find a
contiguous area of memory this large?
Line 703 is this: so it's failing to create the first array:
final int[] retArray = new int[reader.maxDoc()];
Although the line after it is even more troublesome:
String[] mterms = new String[reader.maxDoc()+1];
Although you only need an array of 250 to contain all the unique
terms, the FieldCacheImpl starts out with maxDoc.
I think trunk will be far better in this regard. You should also try
facet.method=enum though too.
