Without having actually looked at the code but it should be using the truncate() function from the language class, however the Language.php version of that function is not Unicode aware so stuff like this will continue happening until bug 2069 is solved (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2069)
I don't understand this claim. The LanguageUtf8 truncate *is* already UTF-8 aware; 2069 is a code layout issue only and does not affect functionality.
If there's a bug here, it's from failing to call the function in the first place and letting the database crop the field.
I was assuming that it was a Latin-1 wiki ( didn't actually notice it was the commons (they all look alike)).
