 This looks like a bug. If I read the code correctly, the long
 name support is enabled when:
 
   Neither -G nor -9 nor -s are used and then
 
   -l is used
 
   or the filesystem is FAT32
 
   or the filesystem is FAT16|FAT12 and there is a long filename
     present in the root directory at mount time.
 
 Can you please try with -U and -l ?
