Thanks!

I was able to reproduce. However, this particular error appears to be
intentional.

`org-table-convert-region-max-lines' has been introduced explicitly for
such scenarios because table conversion may take significant time when
the output is large.

I think we can do 2 things to address the problem:

1. Tweak the error wording. Probably to something like
   Babel result processing: Region is longer than 
`org-table-convert-region-max-lines' (%s) lines; not converting

2. Maybe introduce something like :results ignore to discard the results
   completely.
