This issue stems from Killes' comment [ http://drupal.org/node/46306#comment-71971 ]. Should form field maxlengths be consistent with corresponding database field sizes or should unicode encoding be accounted for? Drupal has no way of knowing what the field size of the database is, and as such the forms api can't take that into account.
