It is honoring the man page section that you are quoting.
On return from recvmsg() UDP will set MSG_TRUNC in the
msg_flags if the users's buffer is smaller than the packet
length.

The patch you have made reference to does something different,
if MSG_TRUNC is passed _IN_ to recvmsg() by the user, this
modifies what length will be returned.

In any event, that patch is useful and I'm going to apply
it.
