What are the official limits of Cocoa when it comes to the length of path names?

There seems to be some limits in Cocoa when it comes to path names.

Example:

A simple window including a NSTextField.

You can drag and drop almost every file from the Finder to the Text Field and it will display the path name of the file (if it's not a Text Clipboard file of course).

Yet, if this very same file is in a hierarchy that makes its absolute path name bigger than 1024 (PATH_MAX in <sys/limits.h>), you can not drop it anymore.

Is this an engineering specification or a bug (Mac OS X 10.4.10)?
