For the continuation bitmaps I don't expect such bug reports -
the ... idiom is quite well-known, and the curly arrows are so
much in your face that I suppose many users dislike them.

I agree that they are a bit too cryptic for general acceptance.
I think these are much better:
(define-fringe-bitmap 'right-truncation
"\x04\x02\xa9\x02\x04" nil nil 'bottom)
(define-fringe-bitmap 'left-truncation
"\x20\x40\xaa\x40\x20" nil nil 'bottom)
