Note from a Xapian developer; the report here says: "For some reason this is not always gracefully handled inside Xapian and busting that limit may occasionally corrupt the index." We're not aware of any situation in which adding a term longer than the limit can result in a corrupted index, and I don't recall any such report. If you have a way to reproduce such a corruption, we'd be interested in it, so that we can fix it.
