Text variables are treated by the composer as a single character and 
therefore they can not be broken. I would say that the chances of that 
being changed are slim to none because that would require a total 
rewrite of how text variables work. (but it doesn't hurt to ask!)

I would personally also like to see variables break across lines and not 
just with Running Headers. If you have a variable which is more than a 
few characters, it tends to cause very bad line breaks. :(

For running headers, you can try out our plugin which uses 
pseudo-variables for running headers which are freely editable (and 
obviously break across lines).
