I just grabbed a couple AA henleys online, and found that I just really dislike the fit. They are WAY too long imo, like mid-thigh. Is this normal and/or wearable?

Mine comes down to just below the crotch, IIRC. I just keep it tucked in, but I wear it as an undershirt. If all else fails, take it to a tailor and have them cut off/hem the bottom. :p I wish it were a bit shorter, as well.

Mine fits perfectly. Stops just past the waistline. AA is really inconsistent though.

Yeah. Maybe if they locked the workers in a warehouse with food and water as a quality assurance incentive they'd do a better job.

Is it possible they shrink more in the length than the width after you wash/dry?

Well even if they shrunk equally in both directions, they would probably stretch out in width but not in length. That's what's happened with the thermals I have (though they're not AA).

They shrink a LOT--the website even says to size up one, which I've found to be true personally.
