The "Active Forum Topics" and "Recent forum Topics" blocks use the function node_title_list() to format the output. This way we can override the output of that function using the theme_node_list() in the theme file.

To truncate the text the function truncate_utf8() should be used.

Anyway, this is not a bug but it could be a feature request and because I'm not seeing this implemented in the CVS must be moved there.
The reason is that I think it could be a bit dificult to format only the titles of the "forum blocks" because node_title_list() is also used within statistics.module and blog.module.

You may use:

  l(truncate_utf8($title, 25, TRUE, TRUE), "node/$nid", array('fragment' => 'new'));
