It seems this param has a limit of 50 for normal users but this limit is not displayed in autogenerated api help.
All multivalue parameters have this limit. Perhaps that should be noted somewhere in the autogenerated help. I do believe this is already documented in the mw.org docs.

titles in action=query should be another.
(In reply to comment #3) > titles in action=query should be another. Hmm it's just what was said in the duplicated bug
This information needs to be available through API too (not only in help). I always use limit=max, because some scripts run under bot account and some not. I am unable to do that for titles= parameter, because I cannot fetch that value using for example meta=userinfo.
The PARAM_TYPE for this params are not set. With bug 28254 code was added to action=paraminfo to handle the missing type. You can add this code also to action=help to get the right type. With a type the information is displayed. At the moment this is under a condition, which check the $type (ApiBase::makeHelpMsgParameters). Another solution is to move the text out of the condition.
a possible fix commited with Gerrit change #4061
