It's possible you are hitting the maximum column limit rather than the
tuple size limit.  The FAQ list the max columns in a table as:

"250-1600 depending on column types"

So try a tuple of the same size but fewer columns and see if that's
the issue.

I'm sure you're right but it's always good to double-check.  ;)
