led me to review pgrep(1)'s man page (which it references).
Under 'NOTES', the man page states:
"The process name used for matching is limited to the 15 characters
present in the output of /proc/pid/stat. Use the -f option to match
against the complete command line, /proc/pid/cmdline."
Therefore, this is not a bug, even though it is arguable that the
behaviour of pgrep(1)'s default invocation is not intuitive.
Accordingly, this can be closed as invalid.
** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
