It's not documented, but yes there's both a maximum number of steps to check for a cycle in the waits-for graph, and a maximum depth of checking it:
http://dev.mysql.com/sources/doxygen/mysql-5 (See http://sql-5.ora-code.com).1/lock0lock_8c-source.html#l00052
00046 /* Restricts the length of search we will do in the waits-for 00047 graph of transactions */ 00048 #define LOCK_MAX_N_STEPS_IN_DEADLOCK_CHECK 1000000 00049 00050 /* Restricts the recursion depth of the search we will do in the waits-for 00051 graph of transactions */ 00052 #define LOCK_MAX_DEPTH_IN_DEADLOCK_CHECK 200
This is the price you pay for instant deadlock detection, as opposed to just lock wait timeout (the method a lot of other transactional systems take). You could recompile with a higher number if you want. It would be nice if this were configurable; you could submit a feature request for that.
