Actually, in the case of horizontally split windows [which is what the
original post asked about], a seperate variable,
truncate-partial-width-windows, controls the behavior:

    truncate-lines's value is nil

    Documentation:
    [...]
    Note that this is overridden by the variable
    truncate-partial-width-windows if that variable is non-nil
    and this buffer is not full-screen width.
