Truncated Tags?

I get a truncated #tag.album. Is this working as designed? Is there a tweak to change this behavior? Are all #tags truncated at some point?
*album works for the complete tag.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Looked at the files in question. The mystery truncation was because they contained both an id3v1 and an id3v2 tag. (They were mp3 files obviously.) Referencing "Album" with #tag.album or #mp3.album got the id3v1 version which truncates at 30 bytes. Going through MediaInfo or to the canonical tag via *album picked up the id3v2 tag. I can live with accessing it either way, but it might be nice to prioritize the id3v2 tag using # if both exist.
Glad it was something I could identify for you.

Could you point me to such a file for testing?
