Comment (by wp-entwickler.at):

 Thanks for your fast reply!
 Sorry, I wasn't able to realize that _truncate_post_slug() is marked as
 private.

 The filter wp_unique_post_slug is fired at the very end of the function.
 All checks are done at this point. Final.

 If you alter the slug with this filter, no additional checks will be made.
 So it could happen that you're ending with a corrupt slug.

 It would be far better to alter the slug before things like the
 post_name_check, conflicts_with_date_archive check or the flat slug check
 were done.

 A possible solution could be to filter the hardcoded length (200 minus
 some stuff *gg*).
