$ cat test.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'memcache'

text = '0' * 1024 * 1024

mc = MemCache.new 'localhost:11211'

result = mc.set 'text', text

puts result

$ ruby test.rb
SERVER_ERROR object too large for cache

I should probably raise an exception, but I don't.

Running memcached -vv shows the same.
