create table `cms1_formmailer_generic_cc` (`fg_key` mediumint(7)

A UTF8 character takes 3 bytes (or 4 bytes with utf8mb4).  Your
secondary key is 255 * 3 * 2 or 1530 bytes

but since when has MyISAM such key limits?

i know from tests how the system behaves in InnoDB that there are horrible low limits for keys but not on MyISAM
