I just did some testing and reproduced this. I also got some truncation
of a file using the local sendmail, not just a remote SMTP server.
Admittedly, the truncation was only 57 bytes, as opposed to 5003055
bytes when sent via SMTP, but it's certainly far from the ideal.

I've added a hefty annotation to bug 6024, and am happy to provide any
information necessary on this one.
