For those who lost track: the problem is that if one or more characters
in the table name above is changed into a character that takes up more
than one byte, the max identifier length decreases proportionally.

But is it a bug?

I thought this was as designed? I seem to recall that the system table
holds max 31 8 byte characters, and if a different character encoding is
used, the max length depends on hos many bytes each "codepoint" requires.

If it really is a bug, then of course I'd like to submit it to get it
fixed, but I'm hoping someone can say if it is a bug or not...?
