I think you need to let Elliot know about this https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/contact/

This is the function in both the text and textarea fields that I thing is causing the issue, although I could be wrong

	
	/**
	 * validate_value
	 *
	 * Validates a field's value.
	 *
	 * @date	29/1/19
	 * @since	5.7.11
	 *
	 * @param	(bool|string) Whether the value is vaid or not.
	 * @param	mixed $value The field value.
	 * @param	array $field The field array.
	 * @param	string $input The HTML input name.
	 * @return	(bool|string)
	 */
	function validate_value( $valid, $value, $field, $input ){
		
		// Check maxlength
		if( $field['maxlength'] && mb_strlen(wp_unslash($value)) > $field['maxlength'] ) {
			return sprintf( __('Value must not exceed %d characters', 'acf'), $field['maxlength'] );
		}
		
		// Return.
		return $valid;
	}
