XPages: Default Value for Repeat Limit in Repeater Control Equals 30 ?

Last week, I stumbled upon a mysterious bug in XPages. I've created quite a few pages and custom controllers with repeater controls during the last months, but never seen this before:

When I didn't specify a repeat limit for the control, I would only get the first 30 entries from the data source!

I've developed the habit of not setting the repeat limit when I don't need it, believeing that it would provide me with all the entries from the data source. Checking the provided documentation in the Domino Designer comfirmed my thoughts:

Has anyone else experienced this bug? Or is there another way to limit the repeat control, that I might have done unintentionally?

For most cases, the work around is quite easy, just set the repeat limit field to some high value that you (probably?) will never exceed, but in some cases you might not know in what range the number of view entries will be when your application has been in use for a while...
