Sean,

You are probably being limited by the default line length. This can be adjusted but most users will leave it at the default. You will also see this same effect with alt text, and with pdf tool tips. It definitely impacts labelledby but I would need to test to verify that it is also a factor for content identified through describedby as suggested by Bryan. My best guess would be that describedby is also limited. Unfortunately I am still waiting for JAWS on my new workstation so I cannot test just yet.
