In the latest 3.1 I get this in our backup:

Both sender and receiver are linux machines, so the max-path is the
same. Locale/lang are both set to C and --no-iconv is used. How can a
name overflow in the receiver but exist in the sender? Can it be due
to the temporary extension?
Presumably, you're not syncing from root to root. So:
Files on sender:
/this/is/some/long/path # assume it's max-path length
rsync -R /./this/is/some/long/path remote:/backups/
Then, on the receiver, this path len is way too long:
/backups/this/is/some/long/path
One way to fix that would be to sync to a shorter prefix. (mv /backups
/b).
