With regard to option 1, how about a mount option that would allow FNEK to fail gracefully, i.e., if the encrypted file name is too long then just use the unencrypted name on the lower file system ? This would make the user complicit in the decision to leak unencrypted file names. This would also at least allow programs to run (such as Evolution) that generate long meaningless file names.
