MATLAB: Does a Cell Table not render a character cell with more than 640 characters in the MATLAB Report Generator

Why does a Cell Table not render a character cell with more than 640 characters in the MATLAB Report Generator?
In version 1.0 of the MATLAB Report Generator I could create a Cell Table with cells containing more than 640 characters and they would be rendered correctly. However, in version 1.1 of the Report Generator, the Cell Table will render [1xAAA] where AAA is the number of characters in that cell.

This bug has been fixed for Release 14 (R14). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:
This is a bug in versions 1.1 through 1.3 of the MATLAB Report Generator. It has been forwarded to our development staff for investigation.
As a workaround, you can try the following:
In $matlabroot/toolbox/rptgen/@rptcomponent/parsevartext.m, change line 63 (MATLAB 6.0 (R12)) or line 68 (MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1)) from
rendervariable(r,varValue,logical(1)), ...
to
rendervariable(r,varValue,logical(1),0), ...
This will allow use of %<expression> syntax without being limited to 640 characters.
