Well, there is a limit, but it's not 127 bytes. I can't remember
exactly, but it's either 256 bytes or 1000 bytes. Which version
of fvwm are you using (the latest official release is 2.2).

Is this exactly the line in your config file? You can't use double
quotes inside double quotes. This one is correct:
*MyWharf(Icon wp-icon.xpm, Title "A Very Long title Indeed", Action
"Exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -title 'Thisoneistoolong456789'")
