This is from the last turn's hosting, which doesn't have anything to do with the former rollback.

As to it being a known bug... Known to whom? Documented where? I looked through the Bug List that is maintained by Edi and did not see a single mention of it. A search for 'message limit' and 'messages limit' of the forums revealed no pertinent hits.

In fact, given that I've seen 'overflowing your opponent's lab with sent items so he can't forge' listed as an exploit, which sort of implies you can send 50 items, I was rather surprised that this limit exists and had no reason to believe such a thing was so. There's even a post (from 2007) asking about reviewing messages that specifically states messages can be shown as 1-99 messages sent. 99 messages is a lot more than 20! That was the most relevant hit I generated on my forum searches, and it implies the exact opposite of what you're saying is a 'known bug'.

Surely you can't say that a bug which doesn't occur in the bug list, and cannot be searched for reasonably on the forums, is something that is particularly 'known' to exist - either in general or to specific persons. At least in my experience, a known bug is both well-documented and a description of the bug is readily available, such as in a sticky.
