Description:
This bug affects custom fulltext parsers only, built-in parser works just fine.

The problem is that MySQL has implicit limit for query word number which depends on length of the query:

limit= 1 + query_length / 2;

E.g.: 'AAAA' query length is 4, the limit is 3 words per this query, but if the parser expands query to 4 words ('test1', 'test2', 'test3', 'test4') it results in unexpected behavior. Note that query 'AAAAAA' works just fine.
