There seems to be a lack of clarity in this topic. Are the lyrics truncated as followed:
1) Files on your PC have truncated lyrics
2) Files on your iPod have truncated lyrics when viewed in MediaMonkey
3) Files on your iPod have truncated lyrics when viewed on iPod

I understand that number 2 re-opened the bug and was fixed. It seems it was a display bug in MediaMonkey.

To answer your questions:

1) Do files on your PC have truncated lyrics?
No they do not. Syncing does not seem to effect the files on my PC unless I change the rating of a file with truncated lyrics on my iPod and subsequently (auto-)sync that with my PC.

2) Do files on your iPod have truncated lyrics when viewed in MediaMonkey?
Yes they do.

3) Do files on your iPod have truncated lyrics when viewed on iPod?
Yes they do.

My two cents...
1) No
2) Yes
3) Yes

Could it be: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=6156 or does it also happen for files that weren't synced to the device?

"When MM is updating already existing track in iPod, Lyrics are sometimes truncated. As a workaround is to delete track from iPod and auto-sync again." seems to me as an accurate description of the problem.

The truncation does not happen for files that weren't on the device before syncing, only with files already on the device.
