The library used to read the line does the string length check, so my guess, whoever wrote it initially didn't know about it and tested with a small sunset of items without issue; I assume the games items grew in size over the years too. They also released an official patch with it and paid the modder $10k

Edit fixed typo

Lol, in the meantime see what Nintendo does to modders who fix stuff for them
