What happens on a real device in this situation ?

It's device specific.  Some devices (most eeproms, I suspect) will just keep
taking data, wrapping around when you hit the end of the memory. Some
devices (IPMI BMCs, generally) will ignore the extra data.  Some devices
may return a NAK on a byte if it gets too much data.  The specification
says:

   The slave device detects an invalid command or invalid data. In this
   case the slave
   device must NACK the received byte. The master upon detection of
   this condition
   must generate a STOP condition and retry the transaction.

So a NAK may be appropriate here, but it's kind of fuzzy.  Since generating
a NAK is more complicated, I would guess that most devices don't.
