This might be a dup of one of bug 302294's other dependencies.  This bug is the only one I know of that says the number of characters required depends on which characters are used.

This seems to be fixed. Probably by the check-ins for bug 237085. -> WORKSFORME. Please reopen if you can still reproduce this with a latest nightly build.
