Hmm no, actually api.o.o rejects these long uris as well, but it
responds with status 414 instead of 500. The question is if the 414
comes directly from the api or from some authentication proxy
(ichain/whatever)... To be honest, I haven't tried it locally so far.

As a temporary workaround, you can put the attached script/osc plugin
into your ~/.osc-plugins directory (it monkey patches
osc.core.get_project_sourceinfo so that it treats status 500 as 414 for
this specific api call (yes... that's really, really hacky)).
