This isn't a bug, it is a documented limitation.

"While we're on the subject of security, you should also be aware that
only the first 8 characters of VNC passwords are significant. This is
because the 'getpass' call used in the Unix server to read a password has
this restriction, and the other platforms have been made compatible with
this."
