From -nw -Q in a terminal of width 80:
1. Insert into *scratch*:
(defcustom my-long-defcustom-name-for-reasons-foo 'a-long-variable-name-because
"A docstring"
:type 'variable)
2. Evaluate it
3. C-h v RET my-long-defcustom-name ... RET
The *Help* buffer's first two lines are
my-long-decustom-name-for-reasons-foo\x19s value is
a-long-variable-name-becaus
missing the ultimate letter "e". I had noticed this in some long string
values where the ultimate double quote was missing.

FWIW, I don't see that in this release. Maybe a regression?

Thanks, should be fixed now.
