I get slightly different results from 7.4.5. The string is still
truncated, but the length is correct:

jorris=# select str, length(str) as length from dropme;
str | length
-------+--------
Hello | 11
(1 row)

jorris=# select str, length(str) as length from dropme where str like '%
world';
str | length
-------+--------
Hello | 11
(1 row)

jorris=# select substring(version(), 1, 20) as version;
version
