IOError during sync-bugtasks, filename too long

During sync-bugtasks on the Terminator project I received the following traceback:

I'd note that I can touch that filename, so it's not fundementally too long for the filesystem, but presumably some Python limit.

I've moved the bug stuff out of this project. Will find a new home for it shortly.
