Sorry about the delay in replying.  I don't have a theory
about why the link should fail.  The path name length
should be ok.

However, when the link fails, BackupPC_dump tries to create
a full regular file (not linked) instead.  That error recovery
doesn't work either.  That could be because of a bug or because
the same problem that caused the link to fail also caused the
regular file write to fail.

Something strange is going on, but I don't have a good suggestion
for debugging this further.  Could there be some resource that
your system is short of during this backup?  This weekend I'll
look at the code to see if I can add some debug statements that
might give us more clues (eg: errno might reveal something).
