I found that computed fields of text or varchar types were being reset to the default size of 32 characters. I have written a patch, that I will submit once I have an issue number, that fixes this so the D7 computed text/varchar fields inherit their previous size.

Resubmitting patch. It was named for the wrong comment number. This is the same patch as above just the comment number now matches the patch name. I did not see a way to remove/re-add the attachment from the first comment.

It occurred to me that this would be better addressed in the Computed Fields module. I have submitted a patch to that project here

https://drupal.org/node/1645642

I would suggest using that instead of patching CCK.
