I suspect this is intentional - there's a limit as to how small we can go. Daisuke or Harry should be able to tell for certain.

Yes, it's intentional. We want the search box itself to be able to get very small to take up minimal toolbar space. However, the dropdown would not be useful at that narrow width. We make the trade-off of the dropdown sometimes being bigger than the search box.
