They do. Bumping LDR_WORDS_MAX from 0x10 to 0x20 fixes the problem in this case. Maybe because the correct password is just part of the username (delimited by underscores), not all of it?
Could we bump this value? We have an experimental version of office2john that rips things like Title, Subject, Author, Last Saved By, Template and Keywords from the document (these are readable even though the doc is encrypted) - and put into the GECOS field for use bu Single mode. Often, we get plenty of words so I think we might want to bump it to 0x40 or more, if it doesn't cause problems.
