Does that matter any? As long as the children of that bone have the right head position and the right parent relationship the length of bones should not matter.
Do you have reason to assume this matters in SL?
BTW, this is not a problem with MakeHuman but rather with the Blender Collada importer, or more precisely, with the COLLADA format because it only supports joints-based skeletons, not bone-based. This means that only the joint head positions are specified, and the importer can use any number of tricks to guess what the tail position must be. The tail positions of bones at the end of a chain (bones without children) are impossible to know, so it must make a guess.
What you're seeing is Blender setting wrong bone lengths for bones with more than 1 children.
For skeletal animation, you only need the joint positions, not the bone tails. So I have good reason to assume that it will not matter for SL. On top of that, SL swallows COLLADA files, so the moment you export from Blender in COLLADA you lose all the information again anyway.
Important note: The just released version 2.73 of Blender contains fixes so skeletons in COLLADA files are better loaded.
For more information about that, and the things I explained in this post, see here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:R ... .73/Addons
