1) Interwikis like [[google: ]] does not apply the same limit. 2) Namespace info is unknown in the remote wiki: [[zh:Wikipedia:... (255 dots) ...]] can be legal on zhwiki but cannot pass length check on enwiki as an interwiki link.
Could you please point to real cases or examples where this is a problem?

Why is this a bug belonging to the Wikimedia product?
Sorry, I'm trying to find the right home for it (and learning while doing it). It seems the related code is at includes / Title.php 2732-2743 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blame;f=includes/Title.php;hb=bdb325cb4ef1761417024980dbf7b6a70a3d996f#l2707
