This results in a quite bad outcome for the user, totally inexplicably. Instead we should just catch these errors and state them as invalid links (or have a different message?).
Gerrit change #138016 should make it so that these show invalid title warnings. Though I haven't got CirrusSearch installed on my dev wiki so haven't tested it against the request_too_long Cirrus error.
Change 138016 had a related patch set uploaded by Alex Monk: Don't sent invalid titles from the link inspector to the API https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/138016
