In this case the bug is in CURL - it is 'known bug #90':

<https://curl.haxx.se/docs/knownbugs.html#IMAP_SEARCH_ALL_truncated_respon>

There's a few threads around about it - this is the most recent I could 
find:

https://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2019-07/0029.html

The only real suggestion (although it is vague) there is using some for 
of pagination (as the UIDs should be eternal, rather than related to the 
position in the mailbox requested).

I couldn't find any explicit bug in their bug tracker which is still 
open for this, but its still listed as a known issue so it sounds like 
there has been no change in it unforunately :(

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
