PM Recipient limit and auto-fill

PM Recipient limit and auto-fill
When writing a PM, the Recipient Box has a notification under it that says "You may send this message to a maximum of 8 people." but when I go to type in the recipient names (4 of them) the field will only auto-fill three usernames, and then won't let me type in any additional ones.

Similarly, in the BCC line, it will only auto-fill up to three usernames.

For example, say I want to send a PM to four people:

Once I click out of the Recipients field, Losty's name will disappear, even if I put a comma after it as the instruction tells you to do (and even if I put a comma after her username and then add a fifth username).

(1) Why is the auto-fill limited to only 3 recipients if you are supposedly able to message up to 8 at once?
(2) Why have a recipients limit higher than 6 if you can only get 6 usernames into the To: and BCC: fields? (3+3)

(FYI, this hasn't been a huge issue for me, but in the last month or so I've had need to send PMs to 4 or 5 users at once and it's odd to me that I have to add the additional users to the BCC line.)

Thus ends the curiosity portion of this post.
