I have also noticed this, have a look at:

http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3Cweb.486eb68c12970251c5bb7070%40news.povray.org%3E/

The limit I found was 2715 across, or a radius of 1358. Below this, the object
is finite. As Jan Dvorak pointed out, it's probably related to number
precision.
