At least thats what I'm told. In the marichyasanas, the hand that wraps around the bent leg is the one that grabs the wrist of the other arm to bind the asana. Makes perfect sense doesn't it (well it would if you were a yogin(ini).
I have just one thing to say.... Fat Chance!
On one level I know that I don't have 'short arms', that that's not the reason why the asana that require binding round my back (and therefore my everso slightly ample belly) are so difficult for me. Its probably my inflexible/unopen chest and shoulders, it might even have a little to do with the aforementioned middle-aged spread, but sometimes I just wonder.....
Are my arms a bit too short....

I googled "the wrapper is the grabber" to find just such a thing. My initial confusion before finding your page was that BOTH arms are wrapped because it's a bind. But then you made it clear that "the wrapper" refers to the arm that wraps around the BENT leg. Aah, thank you.
