Digging a bit, the code in the driver that should set the width is commented. 
It appears those lines are mine. Not sure why I let it commented. I somehow 
remember this was due to oddities with integer fields where the width is 
probably reported in terms of number of bytes for the binary representation 
rather than in terms of the width for the decimal representation. But for 
strings it could probably be reported. Perhaps worth a ticket in Trac.
