This is definitely the weirdest bug I've seen in 12 years! We lost a full day just tracking down this issue.
We found that cmd.exe silently drops the 8191st char of a long enough command. Furthermore, this bug occurs in Windows 7 clients as well.
This simple batch echoes a sequence of zeroes and ones, clearly exposing this bug:
@echo 01010101010101010101 @pause > nul
