A bit late to the party, but as neliojrr mentioned you can correct this using javascript/jquery. However, I would be very tempted to make this much more generic:

$('input[maxlength]').on('keydown', function(event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    if ($this.val().length > parseInt($this.attr('maxlength'), 10)) {
        event.preventDefault();
    }
});
