Wow, here’s a pretty good explanation that makes sense: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=17197603&po...

“The problem is that the message app, thinks the phrase will fit in a one line bubble, but it actually puts the last word on a hidden second line.

It works with these two phrases because they are the exact width needed, and it is not based on character count, but character width. For example, "l" is skinner than a "w".

…

Even the phrase "I old ube the next Obamac " will truncate the last word, because the string width is exactly the same, because all the same characters are being used.”
