Yes.  The output you cited indicates that the combined filename would be
124+137 = 261 bytes, which overflows the horrendously small MAXPATHLEN
size under MS Windows.  The only way to work around this at present is
to start the transfer deeper in the hierarchy.  (The patch you cited is
for something different, and is already present in 2.6.6.)
