Yes, it is too long. Looking in hmacSHA256_fmt_plug.c, we have this:
#ifndef SIMD_COEF_32
#define SALT_LENGTH 1023
#define SALT_ALIGN 1
#else
#define SALT_LIMBS 12 /* 12*64-9 == 759 bytes */
#define SALT_LENGTH (SALT_LIMBS * PAD_SIZE - 9)
#define SALT_ALIGN MEM_ALIGN_SIMD
#endif
As you can see, for a SIMD-enabled build the maximum salt length is 759
bytes. I've just confirmed that your sample is loaded when the salt is
shortened to 759, and stops being loaded at 760.
For a SIMD-less build, the limit would apparently be 1023, but it'd run
slower.
I've just tried increasing SIMD_LIMBS like this:
#define SALT_LIMBS 24 /* 24*64-9 == 1527 bytes */
along with changing "#ifndef SIMD_COEF_32" to "#if 1" inside the tests[]
initializer, to have support for higher salt lengths actually tested.
The format still passes self-tests after a rebuild, and starts loading
your sample hash fine. So you can probably do the same. I only tested
this using the latest code off GitHub, and I suggest you use the latest
too - not a distro package.

FWIW, you got the line wrapped at 190 characters there. With such
wrapping, the last one of the resulting multiple lines is actually
loaded fine, but that's not what you intended. I ran my tests above
with the line unwrapped back to its full length.

Oh, then you need an even higher value in SALT_LIMBS, and you need to
create your own test vector to make sure this actually works right.
