There's no length restriction, and I don't think that's the problem. What do you think the _actual_ reason related to length is? Meaning, just shortening it and the problem going away seems like it's tickling something else and is not the actual root cause to me. Further, changing the name now will break anyone with a metadata-laden image going forward.
