Consider a line like this:
  longObjectExpression.methodCall(foo, bar, baz);
with "Line Wrapping -> Function Calls -> Arguments" configured as follows:
  Wrap only when necessary
  Indent on column
  Don't force split

Now suppose that the call and its first argument, i.e.
  longObjectExpression.methodCall(foo,
exceed the line limit all by themselves.  Eclipse is currently formatting this as:
  longObjectExpression.methodCall(
                                  foo,

Since the "indent on column" rule is forcing a long line anyway, the newline is simply unnecessary vertical whitespace.  The first argument should appear on the method-call line unless "Force Split" is selected.

Analogous problems occur with constructor calls, with constructor and method declarations, with 'throws' clauses everywhere, with enum arguments, etc.
