The confirmation text I copied from my phone (HTC Dream) starts as
follows:  "Gmail Team (Gmail Forwarding Confirmation (#54074357) -
Rec)".  The confirmation code starts at 45 characters from the

Do you have a Samsung Corby Pro?  These phones have an issue of
misformatting SMS so messages take up more characters than they should
until a text format setting somewhere is changed from Unicode to GSM
Alpha.
