This is not a bug. I would say it's a limitation. Look at
src/include/tsearch/ts_type.h. You could decrease len in WordEntry to 9
(512 characters) and increase pos to 22 (4 Mb). Don't forget to update
MAXSTRLEN and MAXSTRPOS accordingly.

Maybe we should change the "string is too long for tsvector" to "string
is too long (%ld bytes, max %ld bytes) for tsvector".
