just a shot into the dark:

Would it be feasible, or at least possible, to file bug reports with
"upstream" to have the permissible length of filenames officially
extended? I mean, everyone has started to use long file names, haven't
they?

JFTR: xorriso 1.0.6, (with accompanying underling libburnia libraries)
was released yesterday, and hit sid some ten hours ago, features:

-compliance rule (yes, these are options to deviate from the standard)
"joliet_long_names"  Joliet leaf names up to 103 unicode characters
rather than 64.
"joliet_long_paths" Joliet paths longer than 240 characters.
"long_paths" allows ISO file paths longer than 255 characters.
...
-as mkisofs -joliet-long

(sorry in case of email brokeness, on the road->webmail)
