Is this a known "problem" or is this acceptable what Perl LWP is doing?

Perl LWP module imposes a length-per-line limit that truncates report data. It appears that HTTP::Response has a hard limit to the total line size so it truncates each line. To get around this problem, you can try using wget to download the reports as it doesn't store the response as a member of the object in memory.

That is complete and utter bullspit! There is no time stamp on that entry, no version numbers are mentioned (LWP dates back to May-1996), and it reports what "appears" to happen, along with imagined limitations. It is misinformation, and it appears, maybe even propaganda or libel :)
