I was looking at this chunk of code (MAX_LINE==1024) in GridText.c:

        if (len0+len >= MAX_LINE) {
            if (!wrapalert) {
                LYFixCursesOn("show alert:");
                HTAlert(gettext("Very long lines have been wrapped!"));
                wrapalert = TRUE;
            }

That sounds like the message you were describing.  If that's so, either
lynx is running into lines longer than 1024, or there's some bug (piled-up
lines that combine to a longer-than-1024 line).
