If `DATA_MAX_NAME_LEN` is reached, `plugin_dispatch_values` seems to discard _type_instance_. Tested using postgresql plugin thus maybe linked to that. Here's debug output:

[2012-02-09 16:46:16] db query utils: udb_query_handle_result (billing, impexp): column[1] = pool-XXXXX-YYYYYYY-WWWWWW@myhostname1-YYYY-ZZZZ-OOOOOOO-SSSSSS-WWWWWWW;
[2012-02-09 16:46:16] plugin_dispatch_values: time = 1328802376.547; interval = 120.000; host = myhostname.some.domain; plugin = postgresql; plugin_instance = billing; type = total_requests; type_instance = ;
