The code that performs a cast from string to array doesn't take into account the
width of the string type it is producing. This doesn't show up when the input is
a literal constant because the constant is first parsed as an array of (vanilla)
strings which is then subjected to a cast (to array of strings with width).
Fixes #50132.
Release note (bug fix): Fixed some cases of casting a string to a width-limited
string array.
