Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.
It looks like the 127G limit is known. A recent patch went in to help
with the symptom you are seeing, but unfortunately it only makes the
failure detectable :) It's a start at least.
The following commit should be pulled in:

block-vpc: Don't silently create smaller image than requested
The algorithm from the VHD specification for CHS calculation silently limits
images to 127 GB which may confuse a user who requested a larger image.
Better
output an error message and abort.
