This is indeed useful information you have found but makes the bug not invalid as this means pgreps matching behavior is defect as demonstrated in the startpost. If pgrep matches against cut process names it should also internally cut the input of the user (or automatically switch to /proc/_pid_/cmdline if pgrep notices that the input of the user is too long and could never return a match).
