Indeed - it works just fine if I use rsync.exe from cwRsync (and 
probably from cygwin, but I didn't try).

Previously, I had rsync.exe distributed with BackupPC, and it was 
failing for long names. Too old perhaps.


So once Cygwin learns how to speak UTF-8, I will finally be able to 
backup all Windows files... :)

But at least I'm able to open long path names and files with problematic 
ACLs, that's a major improvement.
