No, but the code is:
(defun nnimap-login (user password)
(cond
;; Prefer plain LOGIN if it's enabled (since it requires fewer
;; round trips than CRAM-MD5, and it's less likely to be buggy),
;; and we're using an encrypted connection.
((and (not (nnimap-capability "LOGINDISABLED"))
[...]
(nnimap-command "LOGIN %S %S" user password))
[...]
((and (not (nnimap-capability "LOGINDISABLED"))
[...]
(nnimap-command "LOGIN %S %S" user password))
((and (nnimap-capability "AUTH=PLAIN")
[...]
(nnimap-command
"AUTHENTICATE PLAIN %s"
(base64-encode-string
(format "\000%s\000%s"
(nnimap-quote-specials user)
(nnimap-quote-specials password)))))))
so if you're using any of the plain LOGIN things to the IMAP server,
there's really no code in there that I can see that can truncate
anything...
