Sites build up UTF-16 strings a codepoint at a time all the time, and enforce length limits on them. It can definitely happen like this, and that would simply be a bug. What I meant is a JavaScript that on purpose manipulates class names on that level. An example would be a page where classes in singular and plural are used to distinguish different cases, and the JavaScript did automatic singular/plural conversion that involved adding or removing accents.
