That's because the icon label field is wrapped to the icon's width. This behaviour actually makes sense if you consider a browser window that has a very long title set by the webpage. For instance, the window I'm typing this message in is titled "DaemonForums - Reply to Topic - Mozilla Firefox". Now imagine that as a constant fully sized icon label below a very small icon.
Of course, the larger the font you use, the less text will be visible if you have a small icon.
You will see the whole text if you move the mouse pointer somewhere over the icon. The text label should pop out and display the whole text.
Disclaimer: my own experience only relates to the fvwm version that is in OpenBSD's base install. That is fvwm 2.2.5 with only the non-GPLed modules, I think. The latest fvwm 2.6.5 from the ports collection quite possibly may have different behaviour or other improvements.
Speaking of which, the 'IconSize' Style option must've been a later addition, post fvwm 2.2.5 because it doesn't show up in the manpage. So it won't work with the fvwm that's bundled in OpenBSD. If you're using that, it's best to always check
fvwm(1) before trying to apply something you might've seen on the internet. Most examples you'll find will assume you're running a more modern version of fvwm.
