I uploaded a new devel version right now: gopher://gopher.viste.fr/1/temp
Joe Forster kindly hinted off-list that open watcom comes with a 'doslfnX.lib' library that can be used to transparently enable LFN support within the compiled application. Since the required effort is more than reasonable, I linked FDINST to it, so hopefully (?) FDINST should now support LFN files, and therefore it might solve all the -2 errors that were popping up when trying to unpack LFN files from packages.
