I'm not sure if this is a duplicate bug - a quick scan
didn't yield anything similar.

The Bug:

If you modify a class instance, and it yields 255
characters worth of a journal entry in the backend, it
yields an unreadable (and worse, unreliable) journal
entry. The reason is that it gets truncated, and since
it's python code, it isn't valid on retrieval.


Possible Solution:

Make the backend type a TEXT field? Should alleviate
the constriction, to a reasonable degree.
