FVWM: Module configuration line limit

I wanted to submit a bug report for this, but I'm not sure whether
it's a code error or just missing documentation.

There seems to be a 127-character limit for line length of
FvwmButtons configuration entries in .fvwm2rc. I discovered this while
trying to add buttons to my wharf-work-alike configuration. I did some
testing to discover the limit. The line

*MyWharf(Icon wp-icon.xpm, Title "A Very Long title Indeed", Action
"Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -title "Thisonestillworks5678")

will parse, but

*MyWharf(Icon wp-icon.xpm, Title "A Very Long title Indeed", Action
"Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -title "Thisoneistoolong456789")

causes FvwmButtons to fail initialization. There's nothing in my
.xsession-errors related to this.
