In oc-basic, there is `org-cite-basic-author-column-end' and it indeed
truncates the match.

oc-csl and oc-biblatex do not specify insert processor and thus the
default is used (from oc-basic).

So, I confirm the bug.

Eric, as temporary workaround, you can try to increase
`org-cite-basic-author-column-end'. Note that completion might look ugly
though.

One needs to rewrite `org-cite-basic--complete-key' adding 'annotation
function to `completing-read' call instead of passing the truncated
author/title list as completion table. See 21.6.7 Programmed Completion
section of Elisp manual.
https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/blob/master/org-ql-completing-read.el
also contains an example of implementing the annotations.

Patches welcome!
