How does it know how long the password is? Shouldn't that just be hashed in the underlying database?

Perhaps it's a bug in the front-end?

Sure, but why would the code ever do anything that could result in failures of longer passwords? I'm struggling to think of a mechanism that could do that inadvertently. You almost have to do .length don't you?
