Does the password in question contain any special characters? What
does the IMAP server say the password is truncated to?

Not likely, everybody would be affected by it otherwise. I vaguely
remember an issue in an old PHP version (which you didn't mention,
along with your web server) that truncates inputted strings depending
on a very specific setup. This issue was resolved in a later release,
and certainly shouldn't be in anything higher than 4.3.2 if I remember
correctly (though the info is sketchy in my memory).
