I'm not so sure the docs make it clear. Here's what that attribute
currently says (in its entirety):

"
The maximum size in bytes of the POST which will be handled by the
container FORM URL parameter parsing. The limit can be disabled by
setting this attribute to a value less than or equal to 0. If not
specified, this attribute is set to 2097152 (2 megabytes).
"

It says "FORM URL parameter parsing". That may be some kind of code
that means "only when the type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
We could probably explicitly state that multipart requests are
excepted from this limit.
