H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&pageids=17545993&prop=extracts&exsentences=2&exintro&explaintext Here I obtained a truncated sentence, cause the dots in the name force the sentence to be truncated.
I have more comments on this bug. It is just a guess, not tested on my local machine yet - sorry, I am new in wikimedia-dev, and process for reproducing the bug is still not clear. My guess is due because the API truncate the sentence roughly by counting the dots '.' If so, a quick improvement may be check: if the char before the dot is a capital letter, or a word formed by a capital letter > truncate at the next dot
