I would consider a design problem like that a bit worse than an arbitrary limit, from both the perspective that the artificial limit demonstrates someone considered that edge case and the perspective that the arbitrary limit will probably be easier to change in the future. If they're storing the contacts in a way that they're bumping up against some real constraint, it could be far more difficult to change it.
