Dunno if it will help but
Writing to a fresh floppy (W98)
foo.txt
bar.foobar
dir > dir.txt
The (possibly) long filename take up an extra directory slot
and is in the proper case.
Floppy should be FAT12 (very limited number of clusters)
but this has nothing to do with long file names.
The extension is in mucking with directory entries which
are invisible to DOS.

Well, now I don't know if floppies have FAT16 or FAT12.
Anyway I think the problem is related to FAT (no bits :D) and long
filename support.
