The 128kbps limitation is one of the CVS encoder libraries, not of
oggenc or any other utility. Oggenc does not know about it, so it cannot
print a warning.

The limitation is there because the code is experimental. There is no use
documenting experimental code.

The solution is not to use experimental code, or when you use it, accept
that it may not fully work.

It is like putting your hand in the fire and then complaining that you
burnt your fingers.
