ENAMETOOLONG error when attempting to install packages with .luac files

Problem description

Initially I thought this was a problem with kickstart.nvim, I was getting told at startup that stylua and lua-language-server failed to install (the former consistently, the latter only sometimes but it appears to remain uninstalled). After trying installing some items shown as missing by :checkhealth that they may have depended on I tried using Mason directly, and installing the packages there. This gave the errors shown for Mason output.

I got similar errors with a few other packages, and had others that did not because they did not write a .luac file; the issue seems to be entirely one of auto-generated filename length. I am using an encrypted EXT4 partition, which limits filenames to 143 characters, so my case isn't necessarily typical, but either there is a configuration setting I'm missing to resolve this or this could bite someone else too.

Expected behavior

I expected the packages to install, or failing that indicate that I needed to install dependencies.

Affected packages

stylua, lua-language-server, haskell-language-server

Mason output

I took another look at the problematic cases and found they might be fixable if the percent-encoding were removed, i.e. instances of %2f were just replaced with spaces; would there be a way to provide this as an option?

[wmcknig]

Closing this as I (too long after initially submitted this) found some reports about this same issue occurring with Neovim's core plugin system; this is not a problem with Mason itself. Hopefully this will at least help someone who, too, came here after having troubles installing LSP's through Mason. It is worth noting that this issue also seems to have happened under NTFS, with a considerably longer filename limit.
