What evidence do you have that these ellipses are the sign of truncation? AFAICS, everything you cited are the full text of the messages (including the dots), no truncation anywhere in sight. FWIW, I just looked into my *Messages* buffer, and I clearly see there that messages that are too long for the frame are wrapped around using continuation lines, not truncated. So please look closer at what you thought to be the problem and see what led you to this incorrect conclusion.
