Calcey, would you like us to make this a config option like bug 33513? That might be simple enough, but I don't think there exists a way to do this with MW's i18n support. Thoughts? Other suggestions?

Turns out, 'minDescriptionLength' is already a config option, so if anyone wants to properly support languages that might be affected by this, it would be good to set that option to 1.

If this should be implemented on Commons, someone could open a bug, but this is the wrong place for it.
