This is a REGRESSION which starts with Emacs 23 (no problem before 23).
 
emacs -Q
 
(setq foobar '(some-symbol ((some . cons) "some-string")))
 
C-h v foobar
 
Shows:
 
foobar's value is (some-symbol
 ((some . cons)
  "some-string"))
 
Please do not start the pretty-printed value on the same line as
"foobar's value is" if the pretty-printed value EITHER:
 
a. uses more than one line (i.e. contains newline chars)
 
OR
 
b. is longer than the standard *Help* output line length (`fill-column')
MINUS the length of "foobar's value is " (where "foobar" is replaced by
the variable's name)
