For anyone interested in similar issues: here you can find a report for a vulnerability in Phabricator with exactly the same cause (truncation by MySQL), and pretty much the same result: https://hackerone.com/reports/2224

If Bugzilla would allow non-ASCII characters in the email address, MySQL's truncation behaviour with astral symbols (e.g. 𝌆) would probably have lead to a similar vulnerability as well. (It did so in Phabricator: https://hackerone.com/reports/2233)
