[Mediawiki-api] arbitrary limit on backlinks?

Hello,

I am trying to figure out why there is a discrepancy between the number of
backlinks produced via the API versus the main web interface:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Taxobox&namespace=0&limit=100
-> produces 100 results, with more pages available

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=backlinks&bltitle=Template:Taxobox&blnamespace=0&blfilterredir=nonredirects&bllimit=100&format=xml
-> produces only 48 results (ending in "Leaf-mimic katydid")

Is there something wrong with my query string?

Thanks,
Karl
